There hasn't seem to be any update on this bug in 539 days, in which

Hi,

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

The attached patch removes timestamps from the build system. Once
applied, plib-doc can be built reproducibly in our reproducible
toolchain.
