Is this really required?  We've historically ignored these
fields so that we can have 100% reproducible binaries...

Well the system linker sets the field, no way around that and it's part of the ABI. I've had HP support ask for me the link time to confirm I have the right system image before, FWTW.

Hartmut may want to comment on this too.
