Comment (by boklm):

 I attached a new version of the patch doing the same thing in `build-
 helpers/ddmg.sh`.

 I will also post some patches in #18291 soon. So far I have been able to
 completely rip out faketime from linux and osx builds, but not yet for the
 Windows builds where I get some differences in tor.exe and some pluggable
 transports files (the firefox part seems to be fine).
