Sun 20 Oct 2013 03:12:05 PM UTC, comment #3: A fix for this was just made to the GLIBC repo (see bug referenced below). I'll pull the latest code into make's internal glob implementation for the next release, but for systems (like all GNU/Linux systems) that have glibc as their native library GNU make will defer to the system glob implementation, so you'll need to update your system glibc to get this fix.

Sat 13 Jun 2009 09:58:46 PM UTC, comment #1: GNU make uses the libc glob(3) function to expand wildcard expressions. I've checked with GNU libc and the behavior you're seeing is actually what glob(3) is returning to us. Possibly other libc's will have different behavior. I've filed a bug with GNU libc on this issue: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10278	Paul D. Smith <psmith>
Thu 26 Oct 2006 03:21:56 PM UTC, original submission: Supposing wildcard function expands its arguments as the shell does, it should only generate directory paths when the pattern ends with /. This is not the case : it does so this with */, but not with more complex patterns, which will also generate file paths.	Anonymous
