On macOS, compiling "glob.c" gives these warnings:
glob.c:823:27: warning: incompatible pointer types passing 'char **' to
parameter of type 'char *'; dereference with * [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]

I assume we still have to live with these warnings?
Apart from that, there is only one compiler warning:
src/getopt.c:685:6: warning: add explicit braces to avoid dangling else
[-Wdangling-else]
else

A fix had been posted in
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=58075. That looks like a
"small effort" change to me, perhaps it can be incorporated into GNU Make 4.4?
