Reproducible builds bug reported to Rust compiler as https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/97955

[David A. Wheeler]

All, FYI:

The current LLVM-based Rust compiler generates builds that
aren't (easily) reproducible, at least in part because full paths
to the source code is in the panic and debug strings recorded in
the generated executable. I was made aware of this via bunny's
"Rust: A Critical Retrospective" <https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=6375>.

I've filed this as a bug report to the Rust compiler developers:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/97955

Filing a bug report is obviously not the same as getting it fixed.
But filing a bug report to the right place *is* a good first step.
If you know of other build tools where this is a problem, I encourage
filing bug reports with them too.

Thanks!
