I can't remember exactly now, but possibly they were outputs of the glibc build process, when my build machine was being affected by #843210.

My thinking was that strip-nondeterminism should have automatically fixed this, but perhaps it's best to leave it out, so that we catch non-deterministic upstream tools.

The attached files can still be used as test cases in case we want to add this behaviour in the future:

$ PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m diffoscope.main ~/ext/misc/libBrokenLocale.a.*

After processing with strip-nondeterminism (if we want to add this behaviour) the diff should be 0.
