toolchain's output depends on toolchain used to build the compiler?

Look, I really appreciate everyone trying to help, but it gets a bit 
frustrating to repeat.

The files that are different are different after I manually (so any 
question about compiler flags created by the make system are irrelevant) 
feeding the two compiler an identical output produced by gcc -E (so any 
question about file system paths is irrelevant).

Again, thank you for trying to help, but lets try to move forward.
