Your patch was actually committed over a year ago, <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=c2ab755698db245898a4cc89149eb5df256e4bd0>.  It's good that this bug was left open, though, because it did need adjustment to work with very old perl, and I'm not sure I would have thought to test with very old perl if I hadn't been looking at this bug.

The adjustment has now also been landed: <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=185d1db28b48f78eb480a8d19db100ecda7a4fc1>.

We will need to tweak the patch so that it falls back to the old behavior when we have an old Data::Dumper module that doesn't have the Sortkeys method, but that should not be difficult.

Noticed unstable key order when debugging unrelated bug.
Data::Dumper's SortKeys() makes ordering stable and decreases
diffs from run to run. No functional change otherwise.

The patch is attached.
