When building packages (e.g. for openSUSE Linux) (random) filesystem order of input files influences ordering of functions in the output .so files. Thus without the patch, builds (in disposable VMs) would usually differ. Without this patch, all callers have to be patched individually https://github.com/dugsong/libdnet/pull/42 https://github.com/sass/libsass-python/pull/212 https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/pycryptopp/pull/41 https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/2206 https://github.com/pyproj4/pyproj/pull/142 https://github.com/pytries/datrie/pull/49 https://github.com/Roche/pyreadstat/pull/37 but that is an infinite effort. See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this matters.
