It seems as if it is a "feature" that both the build time of the kernel isn't really the build time (perhaps the last git commit time?) nor does the sequence number increase (always #0).

I know that build wasn't started until 05:28 and that it was the second build after making some changes.
Since I'd like to have the confidence that the kernel built isn't something stale, especially with all kinds of "dirt" hanging around in a devel environment, how can I get sane behavior back again?
(at least from an old-school perspective, since I'm guessing this is an unfortunate side effect of reproducibility testing)
