The resulting binary could (and mostly likely would?) be different, and so no 
one could tell whether or not we added anything to the source between the last 
known pre-compiled TrueCrypt 7.1a binaries and our own TrueCrypt 7.1a binaries, 
and thus no one would be able to say with certainty that we started our 
development precisely where TrueCrypt 7.1a left off.

What would be so different if we used a newer compiler?
