Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
xavs2 could not be built reproducibly.

Patch attached, although that xavs2 will still vary due to the
embedding the path in calls to assert(...).

There hasn't seem to be any update on this bug in 198 days, in which
time the Reproducible Builds effort has come on a long way.

Would you consider applying this patch and uploading?

I can confirm that this patch still works, though the build path issues
still remain.

Though fixing just the timestamp issues should build reproducibly when
the package migrates to testing, as tests.reproducible-builds.org does
not test build path variations, and would make it easier to debug the
remaining issues.
