The build date is embedded in jh7100_recovery_boot.bin:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/amd64/diffoscope-results/jh7100-bootloader-recovery.html

  /usr/lib/firmware/jh71xx/jh7100_recovery_boot.bin

  000050d0:·6465·6275·6700·0000·3232·3130·3232·2d30··debug...221022-0

  000050d0:·6465·6275·6700·0000·3233·3131·3235·2d30··debug...231125-0

The attached patch to the upstream Makefile fixes this by using the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.

Alternately, if possible, removing the date entirely would be even
better!

According to my local tests, With this patch applied jh7100-bootloader-recovery should
build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!

Thanks for maintaining jh7100-bootloader-recovery!

live well,
