Comment (by cfields):

 I realize this is closed, but since I worked on it for Bitcoin, I'll post
 here as well:
 https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-
 gdb.git;a=commit;h=15b6cd19e80a8e6b9fc86c178fdb03c3bd0ac2fe

 I've managed to get changes accepted upstream for deterministic mingw
 builds. These have been merged into the release branch (Big thanks to Nick
 Clifton for the quick reviews.) and should appear in binutils 2.24. These
 changes also address a determinism bug in ar (ar -M specifically) which
 affects all platforms, though it's unlikely that affects Tor.

 If builds still need patching after 2.24 please let me know (I'm easy
 enough to find), and I'll work to get any determinism-related issues
 resolved.

 Keep up the good work!
