[U-Boot] SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH must not be linux only... (was Re: [Reproducible-builds] [U-Boot, v2] Reproducible U-Boot build support, using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH)

Hi,

(just stating the (IMHO) obvious here…)

There was a proposed patch which only uses the GNU date extensions if SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is set, would this sufficiently address your concerns, at least for the short term?

there also should be a solution which works on BSD in the not so long term if we want the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH specification to take off..!

(and this probably also affects other software where we want to (or did) introduce SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH!)

cheers, Holger
