 Building static libraries under Linux is not reproducible as the resulting
 libs have different md5sums every time.

 The problem seems to be in gcc.jam which calls ar/ranlib without the
 'deterministic' options.

 A trivial patch is attached.

 It would be nice if the boost build system could support reproducible
 builds. This is a first step.
