Improve build reproducibility by honouring SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

ExportXMLWordPrintable

      Build reproducibility is considered important for creating independently verifiable builds (https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/definition/).

      For Zabbix a first step can be to honour SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (that is to set BUILD_DATE and BUILD_TIME from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH).

      Arch Linux has a patch for this which I am in the process of incorporating into the OpenWrt packaging for Zabbix.
