RE: Can OProfile support reproducible build?

Well, if just these three points are the whole show-stopper,
we might make them conditional like

#ifdef REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD
  cout << argv[0] << ": " << PACKAGE << " " << VERSION << endl;
#else
// the original stuff
#endif

... or just remove the timestamps entirely...

If you replace the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros there by some
dummy string, does it build reproducibly?

How can I eliminate the differences caused by the time stamps? Just remove some code? Or is there any configuration?
