I remember hearing somewhere that the ext filesystem internally orders
directory entries alphabetically by filename, and readdir() of course
returns them that way, while ReiserFS stores them in some sort of
special order internally, and the readdir() doesn't return sorted
entries.
Perhaps libtool (or some other program) is parsing the output of 'ls' or
something and is implicitly depending on the alphabetical ordering,
instead of piping the output to 'sort'?
