Re: globbing functions in glibc-2.0.102 broken?

I just noticed that Make 3.77 linked against glibc-2.0.102 has badly
broken globbing functions.
It is a known problem. The problem is that make itself is configured
to handle large files, but the globbing functions are not. This can
be solved by adding the AC_LFS macro to `glob/configure.in' (somewhere
near the beginning) and copying over the glob sources (especially
`glob/glob.h') from any recent glibc sources (2.0.102 should work OK).
The other alternative is to disable the LFS extensions altogether.
IIRC this can be done by setting CFLAGS and/or CPPFLAGS to something
reasonable before running configure (do not forget to remove the
config.cache cache file). Have a look at the m4 sources to be sure.
