It makes the build slightly slower (from [1], 3.858 -> 3.991 (+3%) on
my crippled machine for the vmlinux BTF phase -- the modules also get
similar treatment, I'm not sure how big the total time exactly is --
for large kernels with tons of modules it definitely adds up but for small
kernels it's probably "short enough")

I don't particularly mind either way, so this is mostly out of curiosity:
do we have any other setting that would be closer better than this
KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP to say "make this reproducible", or is the kernel
build supposed to be reproducible except for the date by default?


Thank you,
