Hi!
While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that pkg-config could not be built reproducibly.
The attached patch set the environment variable LC_ALL=C for the sort
command in debian/rules whose output changes depending on the locale.
Once applied, pkg-config can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.
