My concerns are
1. Someone downloads a tar ball and builds it. "ld --version" should
be able to
tell at least the date when the tar ball was made.
2. Someone checks out a branch, makes some changes, checks into his/her
branch and builds it, "ld --version" should be able to tell the date
when the branch
was taken.
