Likewise (mine is the latest version in Debian unstable). The change to
sort comes from their[1] eedea52a, which was in GNU make 4.2.90. But the
matching documentation change didn't happen until 5b993ae, which was
4.3.90 in late 2021. So that explains the mystery.

Those dates imply to me that we should keep the $(sort), though. Six
years is not so long in distro timescales, especially given that Debian
unstable is on a 4-year-old version. (And if we did want to get rid of
it, certainly we should do so consistently across the Makefile in a
separate patch).

Sounds sensible.  The topic is expecting a reroll so I'll make sure
I won't touch it until I see an update.

Thanks.
