This has been brought up before, but what about putting all this in a =
separate file, e.g. /etc/buildinfo?

At least I'd like this to be configurable. I'm trying to get FreeBSD =
code in a shape where it can optionally produce deterministic binaries =
from two different builds (i.e. comparable with md5) as long as the =
binaries are functionally equivalent, and "irrelevant" info like =
compiler version, hostname, username, timestamp, absolute path etc. are =
a nuisance if they can't be turned off with -fno-ident, -frandom-seed, =
-DSTRIP_FBSDID, ar -D and the like.

Thanks,
Erik=
