When Bruno was creating the test suite for gnulib-tool.py we had some
issues with our gperf and bison --version's being different leading to
different files being generated.

I probably installed Autoconf 2.72 because I expected different
versions there to cause issues.

I found the commit where the sorting in that file changed:

I've applied the attached patch.
