Dear Maintainer,

As a follow-up to #1090395: I overlooked two additional causes of
nondeterministic output during creation of the examples.tar.gz file
in binutils-doc.

I believe that the filesystem read order and also umask-based
permissions applied to the source files when src:binutils is unpacked
also contribute towards nondeterministic output.

I'll provide an updated gprofng-examples-tgz-deterministic.diff
patch in a few moments to resolve these two items, and also to add
the recommended[1] 'mtime' and 'pax-option' arguments to the tar
command-line.

Thanks again,
James
