[PATCH] Facilitate deterministic pe executables between linker invocations

[nick clifton]

Hi Cory,

   Sorry - my bad - I meant to send you a reply yesterday...

 >> mingw's coff timestamp is set to an arbitrary number, to match the

OK.  Presumable an arbitary value of zero is suitable ?

>>  A --use-real-timestamp (or so, maybe
>> random-seed to match gcc?) is introduced to mimic the previous

I would prefer not to have completely random values, since they would be 
of no use whatsoever.  A real timestamp should be fine.

So, yes, please do go ahead and post the patch for this change.  I do 
not anticipate there being any real problems with it...

Cheers
   Nick
