Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
gtk-doc generates unreproducible output.

There will likely be more issues but this one is, at least, fairly
simple in that it iterates over a set structure when printing
some .devhelp2 headers, for example:

│ │ │ │ -    <sub name="Index of new API in 0.99.5" link="api-index-0-99-5.html"/>
│ │ │ │ -    <sub name="Index of new API in 0.9.22" link="api-index-0-9-22.html"/>
│ │ │ │      <sub name="Index of new API in 0.9.0" link="api-index-0-9-0.html"/>
│ │ │ │ -    <sub name="Index of new API in 0.9.1" link="api-index-0-9-1.html"/>
│ │ │ │ +    <sub name="Index of new API in 0.9.19" link="api-index-0-9-19.html"/>
│ │ │ │      <sub name="Index of new API in 0.99.8" link="api-index-0-99-8.html"/>
│ │ │ │ +    <sub name="Index of new API in 0.99.5" link="api-index-0-99-5.html"/>
│ │ │ │      <sub name="Index of new API in 1.0" link="api-index-1-0.html"/>
│ │ │ │ -    <sub name="Index of new API in 0.9.19" link="api-index-0-9-19.html"/>
│ │ │ │      <sub name="Index of new API in 0.9.2" link="api-index-0-9-2.html"/>
│ │ │ │ +    <sub name="Index of new API in 0.9.1" link="api-index-0-9-1.html"/>
│ │ │ │ +    <sub name="Index of new API in 0.9.22" link="api-index-0-9-22.html"/>

Sample patch attached.

Friendly ping on this? Seems like there hasn't been any update on this bug in
261 days now (!).

This was one of the patches backported in 1.32-4, and is finally also
in an upstream release now (1.33).
