Disabling timestamps, was Re: [PATCH roland/Versions.def]....

[Brooks Moses]

Michael,

We were discussing binutils --enable-deterministic-archives in
libc-alpha@, and Andreas mentioned your recent SUSE binutils commit
that had the description "Disable --enable-deterministic-archives
again, as it breaks valid Makefiles."  Any chance you could comment on
what exactly it broke?

Thanks,
- Brooks
