Comment(by mikeperry):

 Here's how the bitcoin people use gitian:
 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-process.txt
 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/gitian-descriptors

 It looks like they use a utility called 'faketime' to eliminate timestamp
 differences, and it appears to be a debian package. It also looks like
 they use it successfully for win32 under mingw, too. There is a separate
 pile of python scripts for Mac.
