Sorry to hear that! However, it looks like bcron was already made
reproducible (accidentally?) by Dmitry Bogatov in 0.10-4 :)

Closing bug (in bcc).

There hasn't seem to be any update on this bug in 551 days, in which
time the Reproducible Builds effort has come on a long way. :)

Would you consider applying this patch and uploading?

Source: bcron
Version: 0.10-3

Hi,

While working on the reproducible builds effort [1], we have noticed
that bcron could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes timestamps from the build system. Once
applied, bcron can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.
