Fix quilt tests so that they are always done in the same order and
therefore generate test results that we can successfully compare
against a master test results file.
GNU make v3.82 introduced a change that caused this failure:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2010-07/msg00023.html
* WARNING: Future backward-incompatibility!
Wildcards are not documented as returning sorted values, but up to and
including this release the results have been sorted and some makefiles are
apparently depending on that. In the next release of GNU make, for
performance reasons, we may remove that sorting. If your makefiles
require sorted results from wildcard expansions, use the $(sort ...)
function to request it explicitly.
The upstream developers are aware of this problem and provided the suggested
change here.
