Comment (by gk):

 Hm. Did they say when it got introduced? Is our reproducible builds setup
 broken that we did not detect that problem during the esr60 cycle? Or is
 that really a thing that got introduced with the new toolchain we use.

 That said, sisbell, what are our options here? Can we just use a newer
 gradle plugin which has this fixed? Or do we need to build that one
 ourselves and use it then or...?
