Hi!
pei-based targets write a timestamp to object file header and it
breaks some of testcases in ld testsuite. _bfd_ecoff_write_object_contents
contains a comment about always setting timestamp to 0, but backend
overrides timestamp field later. is it how things are supposed to
work? What is the best way to deal with it -- write a separate utility
to zero timestamp in already created object, or pass some flag to
backend that timestamp should be zeroed? i wonder if any target needs
this field to hold actual build timestamp at all?
