Comment (by gk):

 It seems at least the table information is not written reproducibly.
 Taking `mozglue.dll` as an example:
 {{{
 Name: Import symbols table RVA: 802489 (0xc3eb9) Size: 380
 Name: Export symbols table RVA: 792816 (0xc18f0) Size: 9673
 Name: Base relocation table RVA: 937984 (0xe5000) Size: 6172
 Name: Debugging information RVA: 880640 (0xd7000) Size: 28
 Name: Exception table RVA: 901120 (0xdc000) Size: 26388
 Name: Thread local storage table RVA: 746264 (0xb6318) Size: 40
 Name: Resource table RVA: 933888 (0xe4000) Size: 1200
 Name: Import address table RVA: 804752 (0xc4790) Size: 1880
 }}}
 vs:
 {{{
 Name: Import symbols table RVA: 802505 (0xc3ec9) Size: 380
 Name: Export symbols table RVA: 792832 (0xc1900) Size: 9673
 Name: Base relocation table RVA: 937984 (0xe5000) Size: 6176
 Name: Debugging information RVA: 880640 (0xd7000) Size: 28
 Name: Exception table RVA: 901120 (0xdc000) Size: 26388
 Name: Thread local storage table RVA: 746272 (0xb6320) Size: 40
 Name: Resource table RVA: 933888 (0xe4000) Size: 1200
 Name: Import address table RVA: 804768 (0xc47a0) Size: 1880
 }}}
