Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
libxsmm could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it ships a build.txt with an absolute build path and
uses the current date in some headers files. These are fixed in the
attached patch.

However, the ABSDIR (also in build.txt) is embedded in in the libxsmm.a
library in an ELF text header.
