Details:

FreeBSD's realloc, like any you're likely to encounter these days, is
totally fine for make's uses. The current my_realloc wrapper, by using
char * instead of void *, results in -Wincompatible-pointer-type warning
spew as, for example, it's passed char **'s, but only void * is treated
specially when it comes to warning about implicit conversions.

* lib/glob.c (my_realloc): Guard with !defined __FreeBSD__
