Notes for gnuradio - reproducible builds result

Version annotated: 3.10.2.0-1
Identified issues:
Identifier: records_build_flags
Description Records $CFLAGS, which vary intentionally due to the «-fdebug-prefix-map=${BUILDPATH}=.»,
«-ffile-prefix-map=${BUILDPATH}=.» or «-fmacro-prefix-map=${BUILDPATH}=.» flags.
.
We have a patch pending to GCC to fix this issue centrally:
.
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-11/msg00182.html
.
Though the patch is currently unlikely to be merged. If/when this
is accepted, this issue should be fixed for all packages and you
should not need to fix it specifically in your package.
.
There is also a work-in-progress patch to dpkg that could address this issue:

Identifier: nondeterministic_ordering_in_documentation_generated_by_doxygen
Description "Additional Inherited Members" has nondeterministic children in the (HTML?)
docs.
.
This can also happen when there is a real C function and a hash-define with
the same name. Doxygen sorts the member names but it only appears to use
the name so it is not stable relative to their type, resulting in
nondeterministic output.
.
MemberNameSDict::compareValues in doxygen's membername.cpp is suspicious.
