whoops, sorry!  I missed that the first time through.

I just followed up on that thread with a patch using 2015-01-01
00:00:00.

I can work up another patch with modinfo.sh approach if you like, but i
think a stable/permanent timestamp is better.  If i recompile grub with
a patch affecting some other piece of code (code that doesn't affect the
core image), and then i use the new grub to produce an image, i'd like
to be able to see that the resultant image is identical.
