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.
