Both.  I've tried building on the "good" machine and moving to the "bad" as
well as building on the "bad".  In either case, the bad machines exhibit the
bad behavior.  And yes, the compiler versions are the same.  I can really
take 2 machines, install Ubuntu 8.10 on each, get all the build-essentials
etc. that I need, and build up 2 executables that work differently on each
machine.
