As far as I can tell from the logging you sent, GNU make has correctly
detected that the system library is glibc and so it will not use any
part of the internal globbing library, including the glob.in.h file.

In other words, there should be no glob.h file in the GNU make build
directories and the glob.h that read.c includes should be the system
glob.h, and there will be no glob.o added to the libgnu.a library.

Unfortunately the error logging I generate on failure can't include a
full transcript of the compilation step, to check this.

If I'm right, then the error you're seeing must come from the system's
glob implementation, somehow.
