Details:
This message follows up on my recent bug report "Do not assume glibc glob
internals"
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2017-09/msg00014.html>.
In later discussion on libc-alpha, Adhemerval Zanella noted "make tests itself
does not trigger ... this issue (running make tests with a newer glibc shows
no regression), so it would be good also if make adds a newer tests to stress
it." See:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-09/msg00616.html
This is a good suggestion so I thought I'd pass it along. It'll require 'make'
to upgrade to a recent Gnulib version of glob.c, which is a good thing for
other reasons (we've been fixing some bugs and are likely to fix more soon).
