Are the binaries from more recent versions of cctools available somewhere on the internet to download?
With the command line tools from Xcode 12, install_name_tool -id stores the current timestamp (to 1 second resolution) in the file even when I have exported ZERO_AR_DATE=1.
However, when I download cctools-973, and build my own version of install_name_tool without any modifications, then the new binary does not have this behavior. On looking at the source code all the way up to cctools-410, I notice comments (see comments for line #undef OUTPUT_OPTION in this file) hinting that this behavior was fixed at some point.
Given that install_name_tool does not have version information, it is hard to say which version of cctools is currently shipping with Xcode.
To reproduce the behavior I mentioned above that is observed with cctools from Xcode CLT, but not with the open source versions:
