Re: Unable to build "Ten Years Reproducibility Challenge" paper

[Julien Lepiller]

That's openssl failing due to a time-dependent test. Try making your system 
time something around 2010 and don't let ntpd set it back to today until 
openssl is built.

You could skip tests, but that would build a different derivation tree, so it 
might affect reproducibility (probably not): --without-checks=openssl
