H A DMake.defaults656e495d515b0fc1f01add164aa4bba9a49ceb31 Tue Mar 13 19:20:34 UTC 2018 Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com> Call ar in deterministic mode.

We need the x86_64 and i686 builds of .a's to be the same, and that
means we need to not have timestamps. Also force the timestamps on disk
just in case that doesn't work, because RHEL's ar /silently ignores -D/.

v2: use "ar rvD" not "ar rv -D".

It's a wonder anybody ever gets these command line options right, if
"ar rv -D libfoo.a foo.o" doesn't use deterministic mode (or
complain), but "ar rvD libfoo.a foo.o" does.

v3: Add a bunch of junk to try to set timestamps to 0 manually

For some reason I'm still getting timestamps in the .a even though ar seems to
be invoked correctly. When I do "mock -r rhel-7-build --shell" and run make
manually, they're fine. Very strange.

v4: go back to v2, the problem isn't in the make process.

"ar rDv" works just fine, but /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive is
calling "%{__strip} -g $for_each.a", and it's rewriting our binary from
ts/uid/gid of 0/0/0 to $epoch/$UID/$GID. Awesomely /usr/bin/strip it seems to
have 3 modes of operation:
-U: the default, which adds $epoch/$UID/$GID to your binary archive
instead of just removing stuff. Clearly the Principle of Least
Surprise is strong here.
-p: preserve the timestamp from the original .a, but add UID and GID,
because this is 1980 and people use ar(1) for archiving stuff they
might want that out of.
-D: Condescend at you in a command line error and explain that -D both
is and is not a valid option:
/usr/bin/strip: invalid option -- 'D'
Usage: /usr/bin/strip <option(s)> in-file(s)
Removes symbols and sections from files
The options are:
...
-D --enable-deterministic-archives
Produce deterministic output when stripping archives
So I agree that it's invalid, but I think we may be pronouncing that
second vowel differently. They say in-VAL-id, I say IN-vuh-lid.

Nobody should ever have to run "strace -ttt -v -f -o make.strace make all",
just to discover the problem isn't even in there.
