Ok, I will do that.

I can eliminate differences in the wrappers easily, then I will look into
the libtool patch.
It seems, that the la files are causing the checksum difference in cc1 and
cc1plus, because if I remove libraries from the checksum, then they agree.
I also checked the same things when I compile with clang. The differences
are the same, so we can do this. The rest is just "cosmetics".
