GNU make uses the system libc version of the glob(3) and fnmatch(3)
functions to implement its wildcard function on any system which
provides GNU libc.

So, if there's a change which introduces a problem with wildcard it is
more likely to be related to the GNU libc implementation of glob() or
fnmatch().

Unless you've somehow compiled GNU make to use its internal version of
GNU glob()/fnmatch() instead of the system version.

I filed a bug about this with GNU libc a long time ago, and it was
apparently fixed in GNU libc 2.19 in 2014.  So, I'm not sure why you've
just started seeing it now.
