[Reproducible-builds] Bug#825540: libhdf4: please make the build reproducible

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort, we have noticed
that libhdf4 could not be built reproducibly.
It was actually building reproducibly in the past, but with 4.2.11-1.exp1
it became unreproducible again.
The reason is [5ea3196], which included the /usr/lib/libhdf4.settings
file, which records several data about the build environment (timestamp,
username, hostname, kernel).
The file doesn't look very important to me from a user point of view.

Can you please consider dropping it again?

Regards,
 Reiner
