The article mentions that the timestamp of compilation gets embedded into the binary. When does this happen? I am used to having identical binaries when recompiling the same source code with same flags (and compiler and so on and so on)

What compiler do you use? Almost all of them embed a compilation timestamp (which is one of the reasons reproducible builds are often a challenge).

Mainly visual compiler and clang.
