We in fact did not do the latter because it was easier to implement SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to fix the expansion of __DATE__, rather than patch 400 packages.

With __FILE__ I believe the number is similar, but I didn't yet count exactly how many. (Our BUILD_PATH_PREFIX_MAP patch fixes 1800 packages, but only some of these are due to __FILE__.)
