I cannot think about any reason for this except some alignment
problems.  Binutils have no influence on produced code other than
that.  

Since it seems that you use either PGCC or EGCS (please make a point
of telling this explicitly), it might be that the version of the
compiler that you are using is configured so that its alignment is
incompatible with that of `as.exe' in Binutils.  I'm told that at
least the latest PGCC has been configured correctly, but please
make sure you have a version that is compatible with Binutils in this
context.
