No no no. The current design is very much intentional. We must export 
`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` for gcc to be able to see it.

I wonder just like Severin: *why* do you think this is a problem?

Also, the long term goal is to *only* make reproducible builds. The sole reason 
it is possible to do `--disable-reproducible-builds` is out of an abundance of 
caution, if the changes needed for full reproducibility had unintended negative 
consequences.
