I don't *think* we need a special particular build/version of the compiler to build shim. What we *do* need is to be able to rely on building consistently reproducible (byte-identical) binaries in unstable/testing for a short(-ish) period. That period is typically a few weeks (but potentially up to a few months), depending on how long it takes for people to reproduce and review our builds during the shim review process: ...Do people have to reproduce the build in unstable, or would snapshot work?
Using snapshot sounds like a great idea. @Steve: would that be an option for you? An easy way to reproduce shim is: wcurl https://buildinfos.debian.net/buildinfo-pool/s/shim/shim_16.1-1_amd64.buildinfo debrebuild --buildresult=out --builder=sbuild+unshare --cache=cache shim_16.1-1_amd64.buildinfo Feel free to ping me if there are problems with it.
