Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
and use gmtime to not be influenced by timezone settings
in order to make builds reproducible.
While working on the reproducible builds effort, I found that
when building the automake package for openSUSE Linux,
there were slight differences between each build
See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is matters
and https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
for the definition of this variable.

'help2man' is a bundled script that is maintained outside of Automake
repository. Unfortunately it has not being synced with upstream for a
while. Latest version of GNU Help2man [1] seems to already fix this
reproducibility issue [2]. So instead of applying your patch I have
simply upgraded the bundled script in commit
9322f409a957f153b38ff37ba79ddf4c19cff6ca.
Hopefully that will fix the issue. If that is not the case feel free to
reopen this bug.
Thanks for the report.
