Commit Message

Build ID is added to binaries at link time. Building in different output
directories causes some packages to have different Build IDs, thus resulting in
non-reproducibility.

Adding "-Wl,--build-id=none" fixes this issue by disabling setting of Build ID.

Diffoscope output for Build ID issue: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1886180/raw

After this patch, build is reproducible - i.e. diffoscope does not produce any
output.

Actually, I would have preferred that we do pass a reproducible value
instead of none, probably something based on SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for
eaxmple:

    #ifdef BR2_BUILD_ID
        "-Wl,--build-id=" BR2_BUILD_ID,
    #endif

And then, below....

... here, you'd set something like:

    ifeq ($(BR2_REPRODUCIBLE),y)
    TOOLCHAIN_WRAPPER_ARGS += -DBR2_BUILD_ID="$(BR2_BUILD_ID)"
    endif

and then in the main Makefile, in the BR2_REPRODUCIBLE condition (lines
518 and following), you'd need something like:

    ifeq ($(BR2_REPRODUCIBLE),y)
    [...]
    BR2_BUILD_ID = $(shell echo $(SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH) |sha256sum |cut -d ' ' -f 1)
    endif

Note: as per the docs, build-id can be any hex-string.

But before re-sending, please wait for feedback from others.

Yann E. MORIN.

One thing I forgot in my previous review: --build-id has been supported
only since binutils 2.18, released 12 years ago now (20017-08-28).

I'm not sure if some oldish toolchains are still using this version, and
if so, whether we want to support those or not...

 That would break the meaning of build-id. build-id uniquely identifies that
specific file. It is expected that if build-ids are identical, the relevant
parts of the ELF file (i.e. excluding debug info, notes, whatnot) are the same.
Setting all build-ids to the same value would completely defeat its purpose, so
then it's better to just remove it.

 Arnout

 We don't really have anything to deal with old binutils. Similar issues have
popped up in the past, and we always considered it long enough ago to swipe it
under the carpet.

 The oldest binutils we have in our external toolchains is 2.24.x, so I think
we're good.

 Arnout
