> - If a particular version of the code is tested, and the binary is not a pure function of the code, then you haven't really tested the binary. Bugs could still be introduced that were not caught during testing because your build is non-deterministic.
This is a weaker argument IMO because when building for test, generally, all optimizations are disabled, debug info is emitted, symbols are un-stripped, and so on. The unit under test is usually very different from the shipped artifact even at the module level. Not least because the test functions are compiled in.
