If you want to have reproducible binaries, you may also want to alter the clock of the sandbox system. Suggestions: At start, set the date as EPOCH (i.e., in 1970). Each time a file date seems to be set in the future (by tar, ...), set the date of the sandbox system to that date plus a milisecond. Each time a file is created or touched, advance the date of the sandbox system by one milisecond. Xdej
