[Reproducible-builds] Bug#819347: starvoyager: please make the build reproducible

Dear Maintainer,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that starvoyager could not be built reproducibly.

The Makefile uses wildcards in the linker call, leading to unstable input file
order and potentially different resulting binaries. I have attached a patch
to use a fixed order for input object files. This makes the build reproducible
for me in my local test environment.

Regards,
Sascha
