Build process is not repeatable: file "generation" date embedded in manages #28323
Description
The --date argument isn't passed to pod2man, so the current host time is embedded in all of the manpages.
This results in non-repeatable builds. For example, if I run ./Configure on DAY, then again on DAY + 1, the DAY + 1 date will be contained in the manpage.
It really doesn't make sense not to encode the actual release date in the manpage.
