[DSE-Dev] Bug#1105662: secilc: FTBFS with make --shuffle=reverse: cp: cannot create regular file '/build/reproducible-path/secilc-3.8.1/docs/tmp/policy.cil': No such file or directory

Hi,

GNU Make now has a --shuffle option that simulates non-deterministic ordering
of target prerequisites. See
https://trofi.github.io/posts/238-new-make-shuffle-mode.html and also previous
work in Debian by Santiago Vila:
https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/make-shuffle/

This package fails to build with make --shuffle=reverse.
This is likely to be caused by a missing dependency in
debian/rules or an upstream Makefile.

More information about this mass bug filing is available at
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS/Shuffle

Relevant part (hopefully):
> make[3]: Entering directory '/build/reproducible-path/secilc-3.8.1/docs'
> Makefile:54: update target '/build/reproducible-path/secilc-3.8.1/docs/tmp/policy.cil' due to: target does not exist
> cp -f /build/reproducible-path/secilc-3.8.1/docs/../test/policy.cil /build/reproducible-path/secilc-3.8.1/docs/tmp/policy.cil
> cp: cannot create regular file '/build/reproducible-path/secilc-3.8.1/docs/tmp/policy.cil': No such file or directory
> make[3]: *** [Makefile:54: /build/reproducible-path/secilc-3.8.1/docs/tmp/policy.cil] Error 1 shuffle=reverse
