I was talking about reproducible builds like it is mentioned here:
https://lwn.net/Articles/663954/
Currently a large fraction (no exact figure yet) of the packages are
bit-reproducible, but it’s not 100%. For example, the .go files
produced by Guile are not bit-reproducible yet, due to
<http://bugs.gnu.org/20272>.
I haven’t checked recently whether the packages involved in
‘bootstrap-tarballs’ are bit-reproducible. It would be useful.
However, note that the bootstrap binaries we currently use¹ were built
in 2013 for the most part. To rebuild them, you would need to do that
from a Guix checkout of that time.
I hope this answers your question.
