Sure, that's fine with me.  I supplied it there so that we could say
"any grub image on any platform with an embedded timestamp will use the
same timestamp", but if you don't think that's a necessary or useful
statement to make, i have no interest in pushing it separately.

My main goal is image reproducibility, and the MIPS_ARC builds were
already reproducible.  Thanks for adopting the fixed timestamp for the
other two platforms!
