Re: [patch] sort 'find' output to enable deterministic builds.

[Chris Demetriou]

I *think* it's sufficient as-is.

LC_ALL (and several other variables) are set via
libltdl/config/ltmain.m4sh circa line 114

looks like configure (which is ultimately where libtool.m4 gets
included) does it too, via autoconf _AS_SHELL_SANITIZE... I can't find
the exact path that causes it to be included, but setting LC_ALL is at
the start of autoconf script I can find.


(And oh, my build scripts -- independent of all of the above -- do it,
too, so *I'm* covered N different ways...  8-)
