It happens with archbuild (which I used as staging-i686-build), and I
didn't tried with makechrootpkg (I don't really want to try anymore).
I think I get deterministic behaviour with the following steps:
* run archbuild for some package
* start a shell in the chroot during the build process
* wait for archbuild to finish or interrupt it with Ctrl-C
* run archbuild again with the same chroot.
