Of course the very replacing of __DATE__ for __TIMESTAMP__ does change the file, hence mtime, ergo __TIMESTAMP__. That's why Cristian R. did the creative use of 'touch -r' to save/restore mtime.
creative^^W hackish ;) not happy with the hack anyway, probably a patch to the source code is cleaner,
Also patching the sources will change the mtime (well, if not using -Z/-T for patch, and the .diff including a proper time entry). The only way around would be to include a so changed source file into the tarball already. Ciao, Michael.
