Description

To make the distributed build cache effective, we need to make sure that Dune's build rules are reproducible. In particular, Dune should set the BUILD_PATH_PREFIX_MAP correctly and shouldn't leak any non-deterministic paths, or other information, into build artifacts.

This issue is not high priority. I've assigning myself, however if anyone would like to give it a try, I'm happy to discuss further and review the PRs.
