Hi Mattias,

Are anonymous namespaces involved?

The compiler create synthetic names for anonymous namespaces.  Those
synthetic names will likely be different from run-to-run.

Does the compiler emit __DATE__?

The __DATE__ could be different from run-to-run.

Similarly, if there is any other form of internal timestamping.

Sincerely,
--Eljay
