Oh, good work tracking that down.

For those who are unaware of the difference between -fdebug-prefix-map
and -fmacro-prefix-map, you can read about them in the GCC
documentation here:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Preprocessor-Options.html#index-fmacro-prefix-map
  https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Debugging-Options.html#index-fdebug-prefix-map

Let's hope it solves reproducibility in this package. And, if it does,
that would certainly "solve" the diffoscope timeout issue. 🙃


Best wishes,
