Yes, it captures a specific instance of the build, but why should the 
date be part of it?  What can you do with this date?

My goal is to get rid of anything that is host dependent, e.g. the home 
directory path.

If you really want the date, then I omit this patch.  For XML report 
however I would like to omit the date nonetheless.

My intention to use this report is to add it eventually to the RTEMS 
sources to that you can determine the tool chain that can build exactly 
this RTEMS version.  Since the RSB commit is included in the report, you 
can use the RSB in the best case to build the tools.  In the worst case 
the report should contain everything that is necessary to build it manually.
