```
Currently git binaries are not entirely reproducible, at least partly 
due to config-list.h differing in order depending on the system's
locale settings. Under different locales, the entries:

​"sendemail.​identity",​	 
"sendemail.​<identity>.​*",​

would differ in order for example and this leads to differences in 
the debug symbols for the binaries.

This can be fixed by specifying the C locale for the sort in the
shell script generating the header.
