So, the first results in the autobuilders with this applied have
appeared:

  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/0f3/0f35347a0d4b29fa7b657f42eb3d4d176ad75410/
  http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/128/128675664dbce8f35e5a710e85791708263a92f8/

I see two problems:

 - The output in build-end.log does not show any indication that the
   overall build failure is caused by the build being non-reproducible.
   What build-end.log shows is just a "make legal-info" that ends up
   successfully, which is very confusing since the build status is
   "failure", but the log doesn't show any sort of failure.

   I think the check_reproducibility() function should at least show
   something in the build log.

 - The reason of the failures, visible at
   http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?submitter=Thomas+Petazzoni+(Bootlin+server)&status=NOK
   are just "unknown". We really want to have a better "reason". I
   guess the easiest here would be to move the calculation of the
   "reason" into autobuild-run instead of having it server-side, as
   Arnout has suggested in a separate discussion yesterday.

Best regards,

Thomas
