Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that gdbm could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch fixes several issues: it removes the build date and
time from the version string, calls strip-nondeterminism on static
libraries, and adjust file mtimes before building the binary packages.

Once applied, gdbm can be built reproducibly with the current
experimental framework.
