[pkg-crosswire-devel] Bug#912161: sword: please make the build reproducible

Source: sword

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that sword could not be built reproducibly.

This is because of the absolute build paths used in the wrapper
scripts generated by ltmain.sh (or similar).

Patch attached.
