[CMake] Fix LLVM build non-determinism on RHEL

amy-kwan · amy-kwan · commit c84c62c50aa8 · 2019-11-21T23:18:11.000-06:00
On RHEL, the OS tooling (ar, ranlib) is not deterministic by default. Therefore, we cannot get bit-for-bit identical builds. The goal of this patch is that it adds the flags required to force determinism. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D64817
