Well, the list of differing files is huge. But this seems to
be .gnu_debuglink content for the area it is in. I'll note
that I did installworld but not the likes of distrib-dirs
or distribution this time.
This test did buildworld to two distinct directories:
zroot/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang 5.13G 118G 5.13G /usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang
zroot/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang-alt 4.28G 118G 4.28G /usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang-alt
and installworld to 2 distinct directories:
zroot/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt 1.44G 118G 1.44G /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt
zroot/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm 1.44G 118G 1.44G /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm
Previously (armv7 target) I had built, installed, rebuilt
to same directory (after clean-out) and installed to an
alternate directory. That had gotten only a few files
different but I do not know (yet) if it was the procedural
difference that made the difference.
Prefix of the list of different files this time:
# diff -rq /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm/ /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt/ | more
Files /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm/bin/[ and /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt/bin/[ differ
Files /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm/bin/cat and /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt/bin/cat differ
Files /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm/bin/chflags and /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt/bin/chflags differ
Files /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm/bin/chio and /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt/bin/chio differ
. . .
Looking, aarch64 seems to typically get a back-to-back
sequence of 4 bytes different in native programs in my
builds:

For all I know, some individual byte(s) in the 4 might accidentally
match sometimes. The addition offset after .gnu_debuglink's file
offset does vary (0xC and 0x10 above).
The content of those differences do not look like
file path components, for example the 0x08 byte.
I do build with:
# Avoid stripping but do not control host -g status as well:
DEBUG_FLAGS+=
#
WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD=
WITH_DEBUG_FILES=
But that was true for the earlier armv7 target example
that I reported that only got a few files with
differences.
