There hasn't seem to be any update on this bug in 554 days, in which
time the Reproducible Builds effort has come on a long way. :)

Would you consider applying this patch and uploading?

Hi,

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

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