The post itself has a pretty good list of 10 sources of non-determinism:

  1. timestamps
  2. dates/times/authors etc. embedded in source files
  3. timezone sensitive code
  4. directory order/build order
  5. non-sanitized data stored into files
  6. symbolic links/paths
  7. general tool inconsistencies
  8. toolchain
  9. build information / tunables / environment
  10. making sure that the source tree has no local changes
With a bit of info on each.
