As of Xcode 14.3 it passes -reproducible by default to ld64. It seems this flag was added in ld64 with Xcode 14.0, but it is not documented. Through my testing the only thing I have seen it do is the same as ZERO_AR_DATE, but it's possible it does more, or will do more in the future. Since we already default to this option, this is more about handling the command line flag to maintain Xcode compatibility than anything else. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D147663
