I'm not sure I understand what you mean.  I didn't change anything in
the configure to change the way make detects whether to use the system
glob (from glibc) or the local implementation (for not-glibc systems).

That change was made to make's internal usage of glob so that it works
with the latest glibc without errors: before that change if you tried
to use the system glibc glob and it had the newest glibc, make could
crash.

If you have make's HEAD code then you should be able to use even the
newest glibc glob implementation and it should work.
