Considering the wavelength of light, I doubt very much that you can
setup a rig with mirrors where the A-B-D path is *exactly* the same
length as the A-C-D path, down to a point where you may need to consider
coriolis effect due to rotation of the earth.

There are professionals who do this and account for much smaller
errors than material streching due to stresses from coriolis affects.
