Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], it has been
discovered that sed could not be built reproducibly.

The first attached patch will ensure a reproducible mtimes for files
shipped by the binary packges. The second patch will tell gzip to stop
recording the current time in the created gizp files.

After applying these patches, sed can be built reproducibly with the
current experimental framework.
