[bug #21231] $(wildcard ) function sometimes fails very strangely

[Jun Chen]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #21231 (project make):

Thank you for your comment on Friday 11/23/07. As you said, putting out.txt
in a subdir does not exhibit the problem -- that's right. However, I
encountered that $(wildcard ) problem in my real-world makefiles when
out.txt(other name may be used though) is put in a subdir within current dir.
Since my real-world working makefiles(GnumakeUniproc) are quite complicated so
that it is unsuitable to paste it here as an example, I tried to dig out the
simplist case that show my problem(as my post here on Wednesday 10/03/07).


However, beside from using GnumakeUniproc, I find it's hard to forge an
example that can demonstrate the $(wildcard ) problem when the file being
tested by $(wildcar ) is in a subdir.

Anyhow, I think it should be a problem to fix.

(Attachment is a makefile that does show this problem, for memorial purpose.)
