He is using native instead of cross-compilation, therefore he doesn't use the cross-compilation specific options that are (nearly) the only difference, he also has only static libraries in his linking path and therefore has not reason to pass additional options to the linker. > 1.

This date is printed by his gcc binary when doing "gcc -v" (or similar), we removed the building date from the binary some time ago to make the builds reproducible (iirc).
