Comment:
Okay, here is the summary of what I have so far:
1) This happens on my machine for stable builds as well, sometimes. So
far, it seems I have been "lucky" in that I got always matching builds.
2) This is probably not faketime/timestamp related.
After quite some amount of testing and reverting
da14737254245cfa6b849dc8ac94a52cb3d9a61d it turns out that there are still
differences between executables. Sometimes `tor` being among them and
sometimes not.
Another interesting fact us that I don't get different hash values for the
`tor` executable every time. In all of my tests there were only three
possible values.
Attached is a typical diff (in this case between two `test-ntor-cl`
binaries).
Exciting!
My current guess is this is related to the old toolchain we use for
`gitian-utils.yml` and `gitian-tor.yml` for OS X. Not sure why this was
not visible earlier, though. Maybe switching to Debian made this more
likely to happen?
My current plan is to use our clang cross-compiler for `tor` and see
whether that fixes those diffs. While I expect that to be much harder for
the utils we need (see: #10369) we might get away with doing that just for
`tor` for now.
