symbol sizes changing

Hey there Reproducible Builds team!

I'd like to make my package "notcurses" reproducible. First off,
I love the interface at
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/notcurses.html,
the clearest output I've seen yet from diffoscope(?).

All my differences seem to be due to small changes in dynamic
symbol sizes. See for example data.tar.xz's 'readelf --wide
--dynamic {}' output:

18  ·0x000000000000000a·(STRSZ)··············3446·(bytes)
18  ·0x000000000000000a·(STRSZ)··············3450·(bytes)

What might be causing these symbol sizes to change?

I also have some _NT_GNU_BUILD_ID changes, but I think I can
handle those myself. Thanks!
