[bug #41273] wildcard function does not return newly created file

[Paul D. Smith]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #41273 (project make):

This is a function make's internal directory caching mechanism.  The wildcard
function looks through the internal cache (where it exists) not the local
filesystem, which means that if there are rules that create files make doesn't
know about (e.g., ones that didn't exist when make started and are not listed
as targets of the recipes make runs) then they may not show up in the results
of the wildcard function.
