Subject: * tests/scripts/functions/wildcard: Skip dangling symlink test.
X-Git-Tag: 4.2.91~26
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0a6c38eff853859b340cedaa545edaa53f235b74;p=thirdparty%2Fmake.git

* tests/scripts/functions/wildcard: Skip dangling symlink test.

The built-in glob implementation does not correctly handle dangling
symlinks.  This needs to be fixed by switching to the latest glob
implementation from gnulib but that's a big job: for now avoid the
test if we know it will fail.
