Enable deterministic builds (Linux)

Description

Building static libraries under Linux is not reproducible as the resulting libs have different md5sums every time.

The problem seems to be in gcc.jam which calls ar/ranlib without the 'deterministic' options.

A trivial patch is attached.

It would be nice if the boost build system could support reproducible builds. This is a first step.
