GCC developers have recently found a source of non-determinism in
automake; this is bad for reproducible builds:

Hi!
The regen bot recently flagged a difference in gotools/Makefile.in.
Trying it locally, it seems pretty random
for i in `seq 20`; do
PATH=~/automake-1.15.1/bin:~/autoconf-2.69/bin:$PATH automake; echo -n
`git diff Makefile.in | wc -l`" "; done; echo; for i in `seq 20`; do
PATH=~/automake-1.15.1/bin:~/autoconf-2.69/bin:$PATH setarch x86_64 -R
automake; echo -n `git diff Makefile.in | wc -l`" "; done; echo;

I'm not familiar with automake/m4 enough to debug that, so I'm
instead offering a workaround, with this patch the order is deterministic.
