REVISION SUMMARY
  When POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, GNU tar will add ctime, atime and the PID
  of the tar process that created the archive, as pointed out in [1].
  To circumvent this, we set the Pax headers manually as recommended, but
  we only do this when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, i.e. reproducible builds
  are desired.

TEST PLAN
  Repeated builds produce the same files now. Changing the input files'
  timestamps seems without effect.
