The glob module fails on mingw:
./gnulib-tool --dir m --create-testdir --with-tests glob
warning: module glob depends on a module with an incompatible license: mbsrtowcs
warning: module glob depends on a module with an incompatible license: strnlen1
...
cd m

.deps/glob.Tpo -c -o glob.o glob.c
glob.c:154:21: error: fnmatch.h: No such file or directory
The reason is the fnmatch module doesn't create fnmatch.h. It needs
fnmatch-posix or fnmatch-gnu for that. According to modules/glob:
glob() function: Search for files and directories with paths matching a
pattern, with GNU extensions.
This suggests that glob should depend on fnmatch-gnu. But it also
suggests the glob-module should be renamed to glob-gnu, following our
usual naming pattern?
Finally, Bruno, the license on strnlen1 and mbsrtowcs needs to say
LGPLv2+ instead of just LGPL (implicitly LGPLv3+) if glob-gnu uses it.
Are you OK with the patch below, effectively re-licensing the code?
