Parent article: Lots of progress for Debian's reproducible builds

When Debian finish making their build reproducible, they can then try work on reproducible cross-compiles.

Though, I don't see why it would be impossible for an ELF virus to contain payloads for a variety of target architectures (especially those known to be used by the reproducible, cross-compile, build checker), and select the appropriate one to infect newly created files. So, I'm not sure what that would achieve.
