Strict build environments do binary comparisons of files across gcc builds.
Writing the current timestamp into a Fortran .mod file leads to false
positives from such environments.  Omitting the timestamp removes these
false positives.

That change was in Google's internal GCC - and is now pushed to the Google
branch in SVN.

One should consider to apply the patch also to the trunk
