[Reproducible-builds] Bug#824668: gmt: please make the build reproducible (timestamps)

Dear Maintainer,

While working on the `€œreproducible builds'€ effort [1], we have noticed
that 'gmt' could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch honours the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment
variable [2] to get a reproducible build date from the last
debian changelog entry.
Once applied, gmt can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.

Regards,
Alexis Bienvenüe.
