Comment (by boklm):

 A patch that might fix the issue is this one from Debian, which is setting
 the timestamp using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable:
 https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/binutils-
 mingw-w64.git/tree/debian/patches/specify-timestamp.patch

 Our current patch is fixing the timestamp in bfd/peXXigen.c, while this
 patch also fix it in ld/pe-dll.c.
