Hi Eric;

This is actually a bug in glibc's glob() function (which I reported to
the glibc bugzilla almost 3 years ago but hasn't been looked at yet).
GNU make just calls glibc glob(), it doesn't do its own globbing.

GNU make bug report:  https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?18123
glibc bug report: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10278

Cheers!
