 the patch we had
 > "# remove hardening wrappers" but now we have "# Some of the hardening
 flags are causing the build to fail, so we overwrite the helpers with only
 the flags required to make the build reproducible." So, why do we have
 suddenly the need for the hardening option `-Wl,--enable-reloc-section`?
 Just because we need to deal with `--no-insert-timestamp`?

 Ah, I think we only need `--no-insert-timestamp` and not the other
 options. I will make a new revision of the patch keeping only `--no-
 insert-timestamp`.
