this allows to generate exactly identical binaries from one
build to the other, including on different machines.
The current implementation is restricted to builds with the
same output directory. Many (absolute) paths are recorded in
intermediary files, and it is very likely that some of these
paths leak into the target rootfs. If you build with the
same O=... path, however, the result is identical.
This is labeled as an experimental feature, as not all
packages behave properly to ensure reproducibility.
