Gnulib module: glob
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
IRIX 5.3, mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS.
@item
This function does not list symbolic links to nonexistent files among the results,
on some platforms:
glibc 2.14, AIX 7.1, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11 2011-11.
@item
On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, this function may not
work correctly on huge directories larger than 2 GB.
(Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)
