[Nix-dev] nix.buildCores and determinism

On reading `nixos-option nix.buildCores`, it says that this option can
affect the determinism of the build. I don't understand how is important
as the hash of the package depends on the default.nix file, not the
build process. What does it mean to be non-deterministic in this case?
