Ah, I see, so it was a topic in that direction :) ELF format itself doesn't, by default, include information such as the compilation timestamp, maybe. Even code that uses preprocessor __DATE__ and __TIME__ won't be reproducible unless we stop the clock, maybe. At the very least, we can't make the parts involving such times match perfectly, can we? :) Regards.
