    Thanks for digging into this matter. Yes, keeping the flags is something I have already seen. If you don't want to fix it in your main software, it could be patched in Debian, I have already done this sort of things e.g. in

    https://sources.debian.org/src/atomes/1.1.14-1.1/debian/patches/omit_flags_in_binary.patch/

    And yes, __DATE__ and __TIME__ are also sources of non-reproducibility; if this remains as is, I think we could also patch this code in Debian by putting information from
    $ dpkg-parsechangelog -SDate
    instead of the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros.

    I'd favor to keep it in colorize.c as is. Green light for patching, though :-).
