Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that 'lorder' from bsdmainutils orders symbols differently depending on the used locale. The attached patch uses the C locale for sorting/joining the symbols to allow reproducible builds of packages using lorder. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
