I don't think so.  gl_GLOB tests for the _GNU_GLOB_INTERFACE_VERSION
macro from <gnu-versions.h> & a known bug in GNU glob's POSIX support. 
Neither requires the GNU extensions enabled.

Also, gl_GLOB_SUBSTITUTE can enable the glob module without a call to
gl_GLOB at all, so at the least, a call to AC_REQUIRE([AC_GNU_SOURCE])
would still need to remain in gl_GLOB_PREREQ.
