The first patch (the one I mention in [#]) fixes _one source of_
non-determinism (the stored mtime inside the precompile cache).  But
others are present (precompiling the same file 2 times lead to
differences even in file size, something I reported on [2]).  What I'm
working on is trying to find out what other sources are and patch them,
too.  I patched some c code (src/support/timefuncs.c) so that it follows
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH too.  This finally lead to same-size files.  I'm now
working on parsing binary (.ji) files directly with julia built in
function to have a textual representation of the differences.

I can't send SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH patches upstream until [3] is merged, as
patching timefuncts leads to an endless test suite (as they were using
time() to check for passed time. If time() always returns 1, tests
sleeps forever).  Yesterday evening I completed that patch (and has been
approved).  My plans are on finding the hopefully last source of
non-determinism, patch it and send everything upstream (hoping they
care).

Thanks! I hope in a 1.4 release where everything is fixed ;)
