Comment (by infinity0):

 Sure that's OK. I'll just note though that the ticket linked ''is'' about
 reproducibility of rustc itself (the "extremely deep rabbit hole"), which
 ''probably'' is a super-set of the original goal.

 For example, cargo is [[https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-
 pkg/buster/amd64/cargo.html|already reproducible (when not varying build-
 paths)]]. However, it's possible that compilation of cargo and rustc only
 exercise "some parts" of rustc, whereas more complex programs ''might''
 exercise rustc in different ways that reveal other unreproducible
 behaviour. You'll have to run tests and see.
