In today's world, or you can easily create full containers or at least chroot

Or a simpler option, fully static binaries like those M2-Planet creates.

Where there is no possible input that could possibly create non-deterministic
output.
Build directories, paths, timestamps, library paths, host instruction set or
any other of that nonsense, just doesn't matter.
This seems like a good moment to mention the term "path-agnostic".
Static linked binaries are path-agnostic; but not all path-agnostic
things need be static linked. For those who consider static linking
verboten for whatever reason... there's still options to escape the
"nonsense".
(If you have the patience for videos, I gave a talk which defines this
term and has other ways to get there:
