This was some time ago and I was probably mistaken about the time and thinking of GCC reproducible builds which use libfaketime (some good recent work done by Debian). A quick strings on stage0 stuff in NQP shows maybe all that's needed now is to use a "/home/jnthn/dev/MoarVM" directory. At least the slashes lean the right way now as opposed to last time I looked :-) -- 4096R/EA75174B Steve Mynott <steve.myn...@gmail.com>
