Hi Samuel, you are also not the first person to ask about this! We actually have a rough solution already sketched out: we plan on submitting some patches to GCC to fix this in one central place. See https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20160822/006788.html https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20160905/006984.html and https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20160912/007076.html for more details. Help writing these patches would be welcome! I am pretty rusty with my C/C++. I should probably get around to this fairly soon. I've already started sketching up a wiki page BuildPathProposal, similar to what we had for TimestampsProposal.
