Subject: binutils: please make binutils build reproducibly

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that binutils could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch contains multiple fixes to debian/rules to fix this
with our current experimental framework.

Ideally, using strip-nondeterminism should not be required, but I did
not find an easy way to pass the `D` flag to `ar`.

this is now enabled by default in 2.25-6, so please remove the work around in
strip-nondeterminism.

control: retitle -1 strip-nondeterminism: remove ar handler?

Hi,

As far as I understand this would be premature and we should just close this 
bug...


cheers,

Hi,

binutils 2.25-6 (which is long in testing + sid) made the build
reproducible (#774429). In that course that bug was cloned into #781262,
which asks for the ar handler of strip-nondeterminism to be removed.

I'm slightly confused now, but (why) is binutils the only package
benefitting from said ar handler and can it really go?

It could still be kept, since there are non-GNU tools that handle ar files, such as llvm-ar(1) which may or may not be deterministic.

I'm not sure how many packages use this, and it might be good to remove this anyway so that we have a chance to detect whether llvm-ar(1) truly is or is not deterministic.

Also this handler is itself slightly buggy, see #843811.
