[Buildroot] [PATCH v4 00/18] Reproducible builds

[Jérôme Pouiller]

This series try to continue work initiated by Gilles Chanteperdrix:
  http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-April/thread.html#160064
  http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-June/thread.html#163905

I dropped some patchs from original series because either:
  - I handled things differently (timestamps in images, support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
    in gcc, ...)
  - I didn't had time to test them them (sysroot, cpio, cdrkit, iso9660,...)
  - They doesn't seems necessary anymore (libtool, libgcrypt, libgpg-error, ...)

This version focuses on timestamps. It provide good enough results as soon as
OUTDIR and TOPDIR are the same. Indeed build path appear in plenty of files.
Only patch called "remove full path from .pyc" try to solve this issue. Another
big step could be done by removing rpaths from ELF generated with libtool.

Other thing known to break reproducibility:
  - use of lzop (it unconditionally include timestamps in result)
  - /!\ since we build our own toolchain and toolchain include BR2_FULL_VERSION,
    ccache is incompatible with reproducible

Since this feature is experimental I did not (yet) reported these
incompatibilities in menuconfig.
