+Felix Lagnöhed published their thesis on the [*Integration of Reproducibility Verification with Diffoscope in GNU Make*](https://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1877032/FULLTEXT01.pdf). This work, amongst some other results:
 
 > […] resulted in an extension of GNU make which is called `rmake`, where *diffoscope* — a tool for detecting differences between a large number of file types — was integrated into the workflow of make. rmake was later used to answer the posed research questions for this thesis. We found that different build paths and offsets are a big problem as three out of three tested Free and Open Source Software projects all contained these variations. The results also showed that gcc’s optimisation levels did not affect reproducibility, but link-time optimisation embeds a lot of unreproducible information in build artefacts. Lastly, the results showed that build paths, build ID’s and randomness are the three most common groups of variations encountered in the wild and potential solutions for some variations were proposed.
