Nice work! @p{par}

RE: gcc creating different binaries: @p{par}

The gitian build does two main things to make builds reproducible: @p{par}

1. Uses libfaketime.so so all calls to time()/etc during compilation return the same time. @p{brk}
 (I don't know if it is the compiler, linker, or archiver that likes to put timestamps in binaries) @p{par}

2. Passes -frandom-seed=constant  to g++, so it doesn't create random names for generated methods. @p{par}
