make-4.3: wildcard test #9 fails

[Bruno Haible]

Hi,

Building GNU make 4.3 on Ubuntu 16.04, produces one failing test:

$ ./configure --prefix=/arch/x86_64-linux-gnu/gnu-inst-make/4.3
$ make
$ make check
...
functions/wildcard ...................................... FAILED (9/10 passed)
...
vms/library ............................................. N/A

1 Test in 1 Category Failed (See .diff* files in work dir for details) :-(

Makefile:1998: die Regel für Ziel „check-regression“ scheiterte
make[2]: *** [check-regression] Fehler 1

$ cat tests/work/functions/wildcard.diff.9

This is on an ext4 file system.
It's not locale dependent: the same result occurs with 'LC_ALL=C make check'.
