---------------
 Known Issues
---------------
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12587

Runtime providers were sometimes changing order during builds, resulting in non-deterministic build results. 

Example:

DEBUG: providers for lib32-initd-functions are: ['lib32-lsbinitscripts', 'lib32-initscripts']
    or
DEBUG: providers for lib32-initd-functions are: ['lib32-initscripts', 'lib32-lsbinitscripts']

This can lead to test failures.

This is fixed with Bitbake rev: 223a0f68530571d2280f526bddbc718fa803a3dc
This change ensures we don't rely on the random order of dictionaries in
memory and act deterministically.
