This problem here doesn't seem the same as the bug above, Fedora 28 has
glibc-2.27, which contains the fix for above bug, and the bug is about
trailing "/". But the problem here is we're asking for all lower case
filenames but wildcard returns upper case names too. e.g.

address@hidden tmp]# pwd
/root/tmp
address@hidden tmp]# ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   0 Jul 17 10:51 aaa
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   0 Jul 17 10:51 AAA
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 273 Jul 17 10:50 Makefile
drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root   0 Jul 15 14:59 testdir
address@hidden tmp]# cat Makefile
STRING1 = $(wildcard $(CURDIR)/[a-z]*/)
STRING2 = $(wildcard ./[a-z]*/)
STRING3 = $(wildcard $(CURDIR)/[a-z]*/.)
STRING4 = $(wildcard $(CURDIR)/[a-z]*)
default:
        @echo STRING1="$(STRING1)"
        @echo STRING2="$(STRING2)"
        @echo STRING3="$(STRING3)"
        @echo STRING4="$(STRING4)"
address@hidden tmp]# make
STRING1=/root/tmp/aaa /root/tmp/AAA /root/tmp/testdir/ /root/tmp/Makefile
STRING2=./aaa ./AAA ./testdir/ ./Makefile
STRING3=/root/tmp/testdir/.
STRING4=/root/tmp/aaa /root/tmp/AAA /root/tmp/testdir /root/tmp/Makefile
address@hidden tmp]#

STRING4 is asking for all lower file names, but both "AAA" and
"Makefile" are returned.

Thanks,
