We work pretty hard to make sure that the contents of the system image don't change unless the source tree is changed, and AOSP master should be in pretty good shape, although bugs do creep in sometimes. The build time and build number are stored in system/build.prop and change on every build though. The build number can be fixed on the command line with m BUILD_NUMBER=12345, but there is currently no way to fix the build date. You would need to edit build/make/tools/buildinfo_common.sh to not use $DATE to get the current timestamp. We would accept patches that made the build date settable from the command line.
