I don't see any changes in the kernels that would have triggered it,
but they never are obvious.

I unfortunately have no idea how to run reproducibility tests on the
kernels locally and my build server at home is brutally underpowered
for more than one core-image build per arch a day (hence the
autobuilder runs).

Is there a cut and paste se of instructions about the tests that I
could follow ?
