Subject: [bug#35511] [PATCH 0/1] Add configure flag to emacs to improve repoducibility
Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2019 22:28:04 +0100

This patch adds the --disable-build-details configure-flag to the emacs package.
By default the emacs binary stores some information about how it was build, as
stated here:
"By default the dumped emacs executable records details such as the build time and host name. Use the --disable-build-details option of configure to suppress these details, so that building and installing Emacs twice from the same sources is more likely to result in identical copies of Emacs."

There is also this mailing list post about emacs repoducibility:
