The libtool unsorted 'find' determinism issue seemed to have been solved in gcc-9's git: d41cd173e23ebea7c758644d6ad6e0fde1c2e3a6 or SVN: r262451 Furthermore, it seems that Ubuntu Focal 20.04 LTS is going to ship with gcc 9 and mingw-w64 7, which will match what we have now. ----- A note on this: Careful observers will see that previously I stated that all released versions of gcc were bootstrapped with a libtool 2.2.7a, meaning that they all had the unsorted 'find' determinism issue first resolved in libtool 2.2.7b. However, I was mistaken, gcc's ltmain.sh CLAIMS it was generated by libtool 2.2.7a, but it was in fact edited manually. It seems that gcc maintains their own versions of ltmain.sh and libtool.m4, and only sometimes backports patches from upstream. Quite confusing.
