Our product is used in a safety-critical situation. We want to make sure that the product we released is exactly the one we tested in our labs.
Because our product is released in a checkout-build-release process, it is impossible to just give out the binary file we tested.
Why don't you just test the binary that was built for release?

No, as the image contains a time stamp that changes each time you build a new image.
i wonder if we should make this a config tweak. some people (not really myself) would like to be able to confirm the same result every time and the timestamp is an acceptable loss ...
The build-timestamp is an quite usable parameter, if it is configurable it should be opt-out.
When I looked for the char *version_string I found out this is defined in respective architecture board.c. Shouldn't this be defined somewhere else to have always the same string?
