Yes, but that's a different problem from reproducible builds. The only thing that reproducible builds is solving is ensuring that the same package built with the same dependencies in the same environment results in the same output. |

Taken directly from https://reproducible-builds.org/:
"Second, the set of tools used to perform the build and more generally the build environment should either be recorded or pre-defined"
FWIW, I'm a committer on a Linux distro specifically constructed to guarantee build reproducibility (nixos.org), so I'm pretty sure I know what is generally meant by "reproducible builds" in common industry vernacular. Byte-for-byte is important, but that's hardly the whole picture.
