Hello,

Missing SoB, as I said.

Originally, I thought "why make this optional", but I indeed understand
that for some use cases, not having timestamps might be annoying. So I
guess making this optional is the best option.

This should probably be:

	bool "Make the build reproducible (experimental)"
	help
	  This option will remove all sources of non-reproducibility
	  from the build process. For a given Buildroot configuration,
	  this allows to generate exactly identical binaries from one
	  build to the other, including on different machines.

	  This is labeled as an experimental feature, as not all
	  packages behave properly to ensure reproducibility.

Best regards,

Thomas
