You could try with the little LD_PRELOAD library that I had found on
Stack Overflow:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=719845#39
http://stackoverflow.com/a/8866709

It will return files from readdir() in reverse order, so if you run it
twice on the same set of files, you have a strong guarantee that it's
going to be in a different order in a subsequent build.
