The README, README.html and syncevolution manpage embeds the build
timestamp:

The attached patch fixes these files by not replacing the release date
in these files from Makefile.am.
An alternate approach might be to remove the dates from the relevent
source files entirely.
With this patch applied, syncevolution should build reproducibly on
tests.reproducible-builds.org.
Thanks for maintaining syncevolution!
live well,
