Re:Status update from the Reproducible Builds project

(#14838182)
A "build" often includes running the unit test suite to verify that the software works in the build environment, so randomness in the test suite can indeed lead to non-reproducible output: when a bad RNG seed causes a test failure and thus a failed build. I've spent my fair share of time debugging issues like this.
