all: fix wildcard to work with make-4.x

In make-3.8x, the $(wildacrd) function would sort the entries,
while in make-4.x, it would just return the entries in any
unpredictable order [*]

Use the $(sort) function to get reproducible behaviour.

[*] Well, most probably the roder the entries appear when read
from readdir()

     7 The gethostbyname4() lookup method is problematic since it fires out both
     8 the A and AAAA DNS queries in parallel and over the same socket. This
     9 should work in theory, but it turns out that many cheap DSL modems and
    10 similar devices have buggy DNS servers - if the AAAA query arrives too
    11 quickly after the A query, the server will generate only a single reply
    12 with the A query id but returning an error for the AAAA query; we get
    13 stuck waiting for the second reply.
    14 
    15 For gethostbyname4() users affected, disabling IPv6 in the system might
    16 work around the issue, unfortunately it only helps with applications
    17 using AI_ADDRCONFIG (e.g. Firefox); some (notably e.g. Pidgin) neglect
    18 to do that.
    19 
    20 Real fix should be using separate ports for the A and AAAA queries.
