Comment on How I compiled TrueCrypt 7.1a for Win32 and matched the official binariesparent

Comments

If you're being so paranoid about the origin of a binary, you have to at least acknowledge the fact that you're trusting the compiler in making this comparison.

Which the author does, in fact:

"Of course, we need to trust the compiler, but in this case, it is independent of TrueCrypt."

He even links to the "trusting trust" article.

Ah, indeed, I didn't read closely enough to see that mention.
