If you use nightly -w, and/or wsdiff(1) this is a heads-up.

With the reversion back to Studio 10, we have lost a compiler
fix that prevents the date of compilation from being incorporated
in the N_OPT .stab (6237911).

As a result, you may notice some unexpected ELF objects flagged
by nightly -w / wsdiff(1) in the ELF .stab.index section:

usr/bin/pvs
NOTE: ELF .stab.index difference detected.
...

These "date" related differences will disappear once we switch
back over to Studio 11.

Thanks,
-Eric
