Unfortunately enlightenment/efl's theme compiler edje_cc doesn't produce reproducible binaries apparently due to the use of threads currently images will generally be embedded in the theme files in a different order. Currently changing this is low on upstreams priority and they wouldn't be open to a "fix" that impacts performance ie dropping the threads but it is possible to fix it in other ways. I've created a tracker bug upstream for this https://phab.enlightenment.org/T5113

thanks for taking care of that part. There are probably some thread synchronisation mechanisms that could help there, so that threads do not output results in the order they finished. They could do it like pigz (parallel gzip).
