+Subject: [PATCH] build: support `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` for build time-stamp
+
+In order to support reproducible builds, set the build time-stamp to the value
+of the environment variable, `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`, if set, and fall back to
+calling `date`, otherwise.
+
+Link: https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/
+Fixes: 64c07e38f049 ("table: Embed creating nft version into userdata")
