Some compilers encode a timestamp into the executable binary. This timestamp causes every binary to be uniquely different and therefore each will have a uniquely different md5sum. You can verify this by compiling and saving two binaries and comparing them. Utilities such as 'cmp' will report which bytes are different. Your email included a number of very annoying disclaimers. They are useless and unenforceable. Many people refuse to reply to messages that include them. In the future please consider using a different email account from which to post messages. There are many free email accounts available on the net.
