Ismail's suggestion did indeed produce deterministic builds in my setup. I
built a large project with about 150 executables, changed a few source files,
removed the build directory, rebuilt, and found that only the (expected) few
executables changed.

64-bit Windows 10 and on 32-bit Windows 7.
Perhaps you don’t need it, but part of the reason for the big push recently for
reproducible builds is to be able to verify that binaries from a given source
(e.g. Red Hat’s RPM feed) are in fact buildable from the sources distributed
from the same source (e.g. Red Hat’s SRPMs).
Yes, that's a much more ambitious goal, and it's not what I was trying
to do.
