The SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH mechanism for reproducible builds require some date(1)
with -d switch to print the relevant date and time strings of another point of
time.

In other words it requires some date(1) that behaves like the GNU date(1) [1].
The BSD date(1) [2] on the other hand has the same switch but with a different
meaning.

Respect this and check the date(1) abilities before usage, error on non
working version.  Use the well known pre- and suffixes for the GNU variant of
a tool on *BSD hosts to search for a working date(1) version.

This commit tries to figure out if we have a date variant
available that supports the '-u' and '-d "@0"' switches.
It errors on non-working variants of date.

To respect *BSD host systems search for gdate and date.gnu. Those pre- and
suffixes are widespread used for the GNU variant of a tool also avialable on
*BSD systems.

The result is:

It applies on top of http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/506856/ (Makefile: Use correct timezone for U_BOOT_TZ).

Changes in v3:
 * move the check in the timestamp.h generation script
 * remove RFC
 * reword commit message

Changes in v2:
 * check for '-u' and '-d "@0"' switch rather than for the GNU variant

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!

Looks good to me! Have you actually tried setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to a
fixed value, building U-Boot twice and checking that the produced file
is the very same?

It works:

Both are fresh builds with the same SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH set. However using
the time stamp from timestamp_autogenerated.h does _not_ work due to the
wrong TZ (+0200 for me, UTC with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH). But I guess this is
a known problem.
