I'm confused.

Windows doesn't have a "glob" function and no "glob.h" file either.

I didn't set

        File windows-NT\config.h.in.in:
        352     #define HAVE_GLOB_H 1

recently.

This was done I suppose some time ago and certainly not I recently.

====================================================================

My patch drops "GLOB_PREFIX" because "windows-NT/mkconfig.pl" was
saying it's gone from root "config.h.in" and grep confirms it no
longer occurs *anywhere* in the tree except for:

H:\cvs-1.12>grep -dn GLOB_PREFIX *.*
File lib\ChangeLog:
190             use of defined _LIBC with !defined GLOB_PREFIX.  Restore some 
GLIBC
