Hi!

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

The attached patch removes extra timestamps from the build system and
strip Build ID from the produced executable. Once applied, xchat can be
built reproducibly in our current experimental framework.
