Hi,

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

This is because two parts of upstream's build system iterates over the
filesystem in "filesystem naive" order, without sorting.

Patch attached. Note that $(wildcard ...) sorts by default.
