Greetings! Not that anyone in particular should care, but GCL has
achieved Debian reproducibility, clearing the way for it and its
dependencies in the next Debian release!

Well, that was quick. Here is what Claude said. Don’t know if that helps you in
any way. Feel free to ask more questions. And you do know
that Claude has a free tier, right? It’s pretty capable and can do a lot before
you run into limits.
Thank you so much for this, but it basically provided the same already
known and addressed information. In particular we know how to control
unexec (at least it would appear for now).
In the end it came down to a hunch. I could not 'reproduce the
non-reproducibility' as hard as I tried on any given machine. I
suspected that there was a directory ordering instability, and when I
sorted the directory results in a stable fashion for the build, the
problem disappeared. Thankfully!
I don’t really know what that means, but I’m glad it’s fixed! I look
forward to seeing the next release of gcl, hopefully including asdf!
Should probably look into getting quicklisp working there as well. I
might try once the next release is done.
Oh, and can we please make ansi be the default without any envvars or
flags or special binaries? (Does anyone need the CLtL1 version?)
