Re: Reproducible builds of ports

Ah, I see, so it was a topic in that direction :)

ELF format itself doesn't, by default, include information such as the compilation timestamp, maybe.
Even code that uses preprocessor __DATE__ and __TIME__ won't be reproducible unless we stop the clock, maybe.

At the very least, we can't make the parts involving such times match perfectly, can we? :)

Regards.
