https://github.com/postgresql-interfaces/psqlodbc/blob/251c8e8200c7a030fa46e59429d3fec7a73de4ec/connection.c#L1013-L1031

Could we drop the `__DATE__` there? It's making the build unreproducible (and if the build is reproducible, the build date is of little value). I've been patching this out in the Debian package since 2016 with no complaints: https://salsa.debian.org/postgresql/psqlodbc/-/blob/master/debian/patches/reproducible?ref_type=heads
