Details:
I tried to build Octave reproducibly, using the GCC option
'-fdebug-prefix-map=/path/to/build=.' to mangle the build directory embedded
in the resulting object files. See
https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/build-path/ for details.
However, because Octave conveniently stashes both the full configure command
line and the individual CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, etc, in liboctinterp, and the
options in mkoctfile, the build directory becomes embedded in the resulting
binary anyway.
I would like to avoid this chicken and egg problem somehow. If the user is
intentionally building Octave with '-fdebug-prefix-map' (or with
'-ffile-prefix-map' or '-fmacro-prefix-map'), then the entire point is to
prevent having the string in that option from being embedded in the binary.
But I also don't want to completely remove embedding the user's compiler
options in the binary.
I have a proof of concept patch that filters only these particular options out
of all of the affected user variables in the subst-config-vals.sh shell script
only, attaching that here.
I will continue researching the best way to handle this, and maybe ask for
advice from the reproducible builds team.
