Bug#872729: gtk+2.0: please make the immodules.cache files reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: gtk+2.0
Version: 2.24.31-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: toolchain filesystemordering
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-b...@lists.alioth.debian.org

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
queryimmodules generates non-reproducible output as it iterates over the
filesystem without sorting.

Patch attached.
