Docker makes this drastically easier (need the exact same versions of all libraries and the compiler), but there are still compile time things that are unique per-compile. Debian has been working hard to get hashes of binaries to be useful but the work is far from trivial.

I see this an inherited technical debt though not a flaw in principle. It would be nice if we could solve this at the foundational level instead of forcing every dev organization to struggle with it on their own.

Edit: I think we’re getting there though, with all the efforts going on with containers, webassembly blockchains, ipfs and so forth it’s getting closer
