There are two things at stake here: making Emacs builds reproducible,
and making Emacs produce deterministic output.
If autoload generation is non-deterministic, then every elisp package
ends up being non-deterministic. So fixing it is a net win, and that’s
the reason why we started with this one.
The other issues affect only Emacs itself. Timestamps and the likes are
easily addressed I guess. Unexec is likely another story, though.
