[Paul D. Smith]

Update of bug #41273 (project make):

        Operating System:              MS Windows => Any                    
           Triage Status:                    None => Medium Effort          
                 Summary: wildcard function does not return newly created file
=> Directory cache causes issues with wildcard, etc.

Follow-up Comment #2:

For other issues with caching see bug #14617, bug #443, bug #21231 as well as
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2015-02/msg00010.html and various
other email threads and SO questions...

We need to either find a way to keep all or most of the benefits of the cache
without causing these problems (maybe find a better way to invalidate the
cache?), or else allow the user to disable it when they want to write
"questionable" makefiles that assume no caching.
