I'm planning on writing one.  I hacked together a perl script that
compares MIPS ECOFF binaries section by section.  Perl is not the
language to write such a beast, so the mark-II version will be in C.
It reminded me of my early days at Data General, where you had to
write your own structures for doing system calls from the assembly
language parameters (which is why I became a fanatic about providing
the structures for the C compiler I wrote for them).

Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
