Hi List,
Can anyone tell me that ocaml's native code bootstrapping system can
reach a fixpoint or not?
I am doing my own compiler using ocaml as backend,* I found something
weird: the byte-code *
*compiler can always reach a fix-point, the native-code can reach a
fix-point sometimes, sometimes not.*
*Is this expected behavior or not? Is there any randomized algorithm used
in ocamlopt?*
Many thanks!

Are there timestamps in the compiled native code?
Are hash values for polymorphic variants seeded with external source?
What else could happen?

What are you comparing?
The underlying toolchain might use randomized algorithms. For example,
GCC can be configured to embed a freshly generated UUID in each
executable it produces. What should be compared is the assembly output
(-S output).
