I think that the coff format stores a date inside the object file. A
better approach may be to disassemble the code and diff that:

  m68k-palmos-objdump --disassemble file.o > file.1.asm
  beautify file.c
  make file.o
  m68k-palmos-objdump --disassemble file.o > file.2.asm
  diff -u file.1.asm file.2.asm
