Now that I look at it again, the command is actually indeed evaluated by the shell but may be subject to differences in sorting order based on locale. To obtain some variety, the test framework sets LC_ALL and LANG are set to ‘C’ in the first build and to ‘fr_CH.utf8' in the second build, resulting in different sorting for random-walk.asm, random.asm and random2.asm.
