as you can see on this output the only
differences are between timestamps e.g.:

     /2.0.34-r0/acpi_ids.c             /2.0.34-r0/acpi_ids.c

Then I'd suppose that first archive (the one shown on the left size) was
created in ustar, gnu or similar format - the one that stores timestamps
with a seconds precision.  In contrast, second archive (the one shown on
the right side) is in POSIX.1-2001 format, which stores timestamps with
a subsecond precision.

The recipe I suggested yesterday should generate tarballs with timestamps that are all integer multiples of seconds. Either the recipe wasn't followed, or it's buggy.

It's similar to the recipe I've been using to generate tzdb releases since 2022a.
