Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that nfstrace could not be built reproducibly due including the
current time being embedded in the PDF footer.

Patch attached.

(Unfortunately the package will remain unreproducible due to a bigger
issue in TeX that introduces non-deterministic PDF IDs.)
