In order to support "reproducible builds" for static libraries it would be great if `ar` supports `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` as an alternate means to use a timestamp (vs. looking at the `stat` output for a given file). This is further documented here: https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/
