Hi!
While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [0], we have noticed
that tiger could not be built reproducibly. [0]
The attached patch set the environment variable LC_COLLATE=C for the ls
command in doc/Makefile.in, which makes explain.idx vary on the locale.
Once applied, tiger should be able to build reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.
Regards,
