Hi!

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

The attached patch removes extra timestamps from the build system. Once
applied, and after the ocaml toolchain is patch, Why can be built
reproducibly in our experimental framework.
