No, however there are only two fundamental changes.  Line numbers
change in vfprintf.c assertions, which is easy enough to ignore when
reading disassembly diffs.

It's possible to put -DNDEBUG into CFLAGS to eliminate these differences (well, most of them).

More troublesome,  ancillary programs and
libraries that call getc or putc will now reference getc@GLIBC_2.0 /
putc@GLIBC_2.0 instead of _IO_getc@GLIBC_2.0 / _IO_putc@GLIBC_2.0.
This causes a bunch of sections, including .text, to shift their
starting address slightly (I think because .dynsym is shorter), which
makes `objdump -d` output not easily diffable, but I *think* code
generation is not affected.

Maybe it's possible to add something to include/stdio.h to redirect the references, so that the results are the same, and revert that in a subsequent commit?

Thanks,
Florian
