Hi!

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

The attached patch removes extra timestamps from the build system.
Once applied, and after an issue with Ghostscript [2] is fixed, nasm can
be built reproducibly in our current experimental framework.
