    isohybrid: Use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for deterministic results
    
    without this patch, iso output contained 4 random bytes
    at offset 440 for MBR ID
    
    See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this matters.


    isohybrid: Keep entropy for srand
    
    without this patch, the seed would often be 0 or 0x70000000
    
    The <<2 is added so that pid and ppid do not cancel out each other.
