[Reproducible-builds] Bug#806547: netsniff-ng: please make the build reproducible

Source: netsniff-ng
Version: 0.6.0-1

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that netsniff-ng could not be built reproducibly.
The order of object files varies while linking.

The attached patch fixes this by ensuring a stable order independent
of the configured locale.

Regards,
 Reiner
