Follow-up Comment #7, bug #52018 (project make): > So Debian Stretch aka 9, with glibc 2.24, fails, where Debian Buster aka 10, with glibc 2.28, passes, meaning that it exhibits the new behavior, where $(wildcard) matches even dangling symlinks. It would be possible for 'make' to not have this

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #52018 (project make): You'd have to run bleeding-edge-from-git glibc to get the new behavior, or copy glob.c from bleeding-edge Gnulib and use that instead of glibc glob. The new implementation will use gl_lstat when testing for existence, and will use gl_stat only

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #52018 (project make): Hm, well, I don't have a newer glibc and I don't know how the newer glob will utilize the gl_lstat element, so I don't know exactly what the test needs to do in order to stress this. Do I just need to get the wildcard function to expand a symlink
