I'm not an compiler expert, not by far. But my understanding is that if you compile the same code on the same machine for the same target, you'll get the same bits. Only minor things like timestamps that are sometimes introduced might differ. In this sense, maybe they are not deterministic. But I think it's fair to classify them as "determinstic" compared to LLMs.
