- Add "--no-insert-timestamp" LDFLAG for x86_64-w64-mingw32 builds "The option --no-insert-timestamp can be used to insert a zero value for the timestamp, this ensuring that binaries produced from identical sources will compare identically." - ld(1) - Set "SetDateSave off" in NSIS script From https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Docs/Chapter4.html#flags "This command sets the file date/time saving flag which is used by the File command to determine whether or not to save the last write date and time of the file, so that it can be restored on installation. Valid flags are 'on' and 'off'. 'on' is the default." - Add commented out NSIS options for reproducibility debugging in NSIS script - Make ZIPs deterministic by reseting file modification times to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH using touch(1) (Reference: https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/archives/)
