If your builds are not deterministic for the same set of inputs, you are doing something wrong - or victim of supply chain attack.

No, some compilers aren't deterministic by design, e.g. because they compile stuff in parallel and don't take extra steps to enforce consistent ordering of things (because it doesn't matter).
