When making a build comparison, the build result was identical on Windows (of course), and macOS. On linux/x64 and linux/aarch64, there was a slight difference, in that a few functions did not properly set `.type`, so they appeared as `NOTYPE` instead of `FUNC` in the symbol table.
I have not done comparison builds for other linux platforms, but I assume that GHA passing is good enough.
