FWIW I'm strongly -1 on having date-related data in binaries. I think that having a deterministic relationship between source and binary for a given compiler version is an extremely useful property.

Since build systems normally ensure that unchanged sources are not rebuilt, the compile time is the time a specific file was recompiled, and doesn't tell you much about the rest of the program. Link time can sometimes be interesting. We can already use the linker's -X option to record the link time in the binary.
