The parent compiler and the other compilers must produce identical code from the same source code. How is the control (parent source) compiler known to produce exactly the same executables as the other compilers?
No. David Wheeler's dissertation goes into that in detail. Sixty pages of detail. https://www.dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/dissertation/
(As an aside, the people who bring up this compiler trust issue seem not to have thought about how it could work in the modern world. We have several compilers with open source and long version histories these days, and ditto operating systems.)
