I know some are really pedantic about reproducibility even of the test results, but haven't seen any that pedantic outside of Google (& probably Facebook) - and at least at Google I don't think we've hit this, perhaps because we don't build zlib with that hardware support?

Yeah, I don't think it is - but it was specifically the overlap of SystemZ and a pedantically strict build system (that requires/values bit-identical reproducibility even for test artifacts). Do you have experience with such a build system that motivated this change?

I don't think Google's build system (at least the way we run LLVM's tests) requires bit-identical reproducibility for intermediate files created during test execution like this.
