Comment (by zyan):

 I've been playing around with Python's zipfile module, which, unlike gnu's
 built-in zip tool, lets you modify timestamps and system information when
 creating a zip file. Using https://github.com/diracdeltas/https-
 everywhere/tree/deterministic, I've gotten a "deterministic" build on the
 same machine with fresh git clones.

 Please run https://gist.github.com/diracdeltas/6440856 to test this out on
 other machines, as I suspect it may not work with another version of zip
 or possibly on another OS (in which case we might have to make a build for
 each system/zip version). My checksum is
 b3409cd7235c10fd74f58127bdcede3e5616e3b9.
