Fun fact that we have burned those bridges years ago. Every time big codebase updates it's main optimizing toolchain (compiler/linker) ... there is nothing deterministic and predictable. There is only what has been re-tested and what has not been.

Even if the build isn't bit-for-bit-reproducible, any reasonable toolchain will, at least, give predictably equivalent results.
