Just in case someone (like me) is not familiar with the concept of deterministic builds, this is a good read:

Synopsis:
"deterministic builds" -- packages which are byte-for-byte identical no matter who actually builds them, or what hardware they use.
Isnt nix and guix a kind of solution that the deterministic build problem?
They produce builds with hashes of the source and all dependencies and tools used, or so I believe after skimming their manuals.
They're not really a solution if the official binaries are compiled using VC, and you want to compare to that.
