Some Linux distributions (such as Debian [1]) are striving to make their
build reproducible.
The usage of filesystem globbing as an input to the make build might
cause inconsistencies due to differences between locales [2]. This
inconsistent behavior prevents reproducible builds.
This patch sorts the Makefile inputs to ensure they will be always
processed in the same order [3], contributing to the build system
reproducibility.
