The userid used during the build is embedded in a shipped tarball in the
mm-common package. Some abbreviated diffoscope output from guix
challenge against builds from ci.guix.gnu.org and bordeax.guix.gnu.org:

The attached patch fixes this by setting the user, group, uid and gid
consistently.

Yeah, let’s apply it on ‘core-updates’.

I’d suggest a shorter name to appease ‘tar’, say
‘mm-common-reproducible-tarball.patch’.

Otherwise LGTM, thanks!

Pushed 5ce7178eb8375716625de14f59e227fdd9b8d9f0 to core-updates!
