Details:

Hi,

        This bug was reported by a Debian user.

In the transcript below, I test globbing in both the shell and in GNU Make's
$(wildcard) function.  It seems to me that while * and */ behave correctly,
but ?*/ should NOT list the file y.

$ with-temp-dir
with-temp-dir: entering directory `/tmp/with-temp-dir.bNzKiB'
This directory will be deleted when you exit.
$ mkdir x
$ touch y
$ echo *
x y
$ echo */
x/
$ echo ?*/
x/
$ printf 'z:\n\t#$(wildcard *)' | make -f -
#x y
$ printf 'z:\n\t#$(wildcard */)' | make -f -
#x/
$ printf 'z:\n\t#$(wildcard ?*/)' | make -f -
#x/ y
$ exit
with-temp-dir: leaving directory `/tmp/with-temp-dir.bNzKiB'
$
