-
-gropdf uses rand() to generate random font subset tags in SubTag().
-Without a deterministic seed, each build produces different PDF output.

-Initialize srand() with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH when available to ensure
-reproducible builds.

-[mom]: Fix example build dependencies

-mom examples, e.g.:
-
-| groff-1.24.0/groff: error: couldn't exec eqn: Permission denied
-| pdfmom: fatal error: groff-1.24.0/test-groff exited with status 24
-| make[2]: *** [Makefile:19256: contrib/mom/examples/slide-demo.pdf] Error 1
-
-It may find eqn from the host system if installed too.
-
-Fix the build dependencies to add eqn, pic, tbl and preconv since a 
-quick strace indicates them all being used here
