Multiple versions of "procnto" on 6.2.1 PE

I notice that on QNX 6.2.1 PE, there are several different
versions of “procnto” for x86, “/boot/sys” and “/proc/boot” have
different versions, of quite different size. Is this intentional?

Why do you think they are “different”? The one in /proc/boot has
obviously been processed by mkxfs for suitable use in booting
(unnecessary ELF sections stripped, linker relocations made, etc)
but should have been originally sourced from /x86/boot/sys …

That makes sense. OK.
