The *.nix evaluation and actual build processes are separate. First 
there's evaluation into *.drv derivations (build recipes), and these are 
then realized (built; with waiting on build-time dependencies).

I don't think there's any known non-determinism except for the 
individual builders, which are handled per-case. Many of them are 
determined to put build date and similar things into the output...
