Our tests indicated that there <!-- --><em>was</em> a difference between artifacts produced by the precompiled compiler v.s. one built from source - this  is likely explained by introduced environmental differences caused by the compilation of the compiler itself e.g. the contents/versions of modules in the Go package cache which we have seen as having an impact on other produced binaries.<!-- --></li>

-<!-- --><li><strong>Go Compiler Acquisition</strong> - our Docker container was compiling the Go compiler from source, while Repliqate was downloading a pre-compiled version. During debugging we changed the Dockerfile to also download the pre-compiled version in order to eliminate the difference as a potential reproducibility issue. Our tests indicated that there <!-- --><em>was</em> a difference between artifacts produced by the precompiled compiler v.s. one built from source - this  is likely explained by introduced environmental differences caused by the compilation of the compiler itself e.g. the contents/versions of modules in the Go package cache which we have seen as having an impact on other produced binaries.<!-- --></li>
