While working on reproducible builds for openSUSE, I found that
the grub2 package's grub.xen differed in every build.
It is generated by
./grub-mkstandalone --grub-mkimage=./grub-mkimage -o grub.xen -O x86_64-xen -d grub-core/ /boot/grub/grub.cfg=/home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/grub2-xen-pv-firmware.cfg

which embeds mtimes of files and also uses indeterministic readdir order in add_tar_file

The mtimes can be fixed with the attached patch.

Can POSIX scandir be used in that code?
That could solve the readdir issue.
