Not in any great detail. Gold vs ld isn't something I bet most programmers know rigorously, and thats fine! Compilers aren't deterministic, but we don't care because they're deterministic enough. Debian started a reproducible computing project in 2013 and, thirteen years later, we can maybe have that happen if you set everything up juuuuuust right.
