The Linux builds are reproducible: anyone who builds Tor Messenger for Linux should have byte-for-byte identical binaries compared with other builds from a given source. You can build it [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-messenger-build.git/tree/README yourself] and let us know if you encounter any problems or cannot match our build. The Windows and OS X builds are not completely reproducible yet but we are [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/10942 working] on it.
