Hi, Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that gretl could not be built reproducibly. This is because the PDF documentation embeds the current date via TeX's \today (etc.). A patch is attached that uses FORCE_SOURCE_DATE to request that TeX sources the current date from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH instead of the system clock.
