Description Tomas Mraz 2008-06-02 20:09:00 UTC 
It seems that bash doesn't put broken symlinks in wildcard expansions anymore in
rawhide. This causes for example build failure of OpenSSL.

This problem was introduced probably with this change:
* Wed May 28 2008 Roman Rakus - 3.2-24
 - #217359 - use posix glob library

Please revert this change or fix the USE_POSIX_GLOB_LIBRARY code.
Comment 1 Tomas Mraz 2008-06-02 20:14:09 UTC 
testcase:

mkdir bashtest
ln -s foo bashtest/bar
ls bashtest/*

The ls should output:
bashtest/bar

Reverted back. Don't use posix glob library.
Comment 4 Tomas Mraz 2008-06-03 20:11:11 UTC 
OpenSSL builds OK now.
