Reproducable builds

I started looking at the patch files. Looks good, thanks.
But it's hard to verify all that by eyeball. Is there a way we can get
the reproducable build stuff to verify that you haven't make any real
changes?
If I build ntpd, get the checksum, build again (no source changes) I get
the same sum.
If I add a comment, I get a different sum.
Is there a flag or such that will leave ignore comments?
------
I can use objdump to look at the code. It puts the file name in the
output, but skipping that part of a diff by hand is pretty simple.
1529 looks clean.

1531 and 1532 are clean.
Do you want me to approve the ones I like?
