I remember that > the build epochs didn't match in a version of the Gentoo ebuild. You can't use build epochs to match files. waf will happily let you recompile only parts of a package. Then the build epochs do not match. Another reason not to use them it to move to reproduceable builds. Ideally you can build the same source at different times on different hosts, and the results match exactly.
