Hi,

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

Whilst you do accommodate SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH [1], unfortunately your
call to date(1) is currently missing the switch to make it timezone
agnostic, thus it can vary depending on "where" you build it from.

Patch attached.
