[DSE-Dev] Bug#825655: libselinux: please make the build reproducible

Source: libselinux
Version: 2.5-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that libselinux could not be built reproducibly.
The list of object files is unsorted and causes a non-deterministic
linking order.

The attached patch fixes this by sorting the list of source files, from
which the list of object files is derived from.

Regards,
 Reiner
