 this manpage. It will print out a two-line stanza for each mismatched
 instruction, with the  B<llc> version first, and the  B<lli> version second.

+=over 4
+
+=item -d
+
+Don't show instructions where the bytes are different but they
+disassemble to the same thing. This puts a lot of trust in the
+disassembler, but it might help you highlight the more egregious cases
+of misassembly.
