[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#897904: libzstd: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: libzstd
Version: 1.3.4+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: environment

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that libzstd could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it encodes the number of CPUs of the build machine
into the documentation.

Patch attached.
