This follow commit 5554304f0 (posix: Allow glob to match dangling
symlinks [BZ #866]) by adding a compat symbol that follow previous
semantic of not following dangling symlinks and thus avoiding call
gl_lstat with GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC.

This avoid failure with old binaries that not set the alternate function
pointer for lstat, GNUmake for instance.

Will simple recompilation of GNU make reintroduce the access to anuninitialized gl_lstat pointer?


Thanks,
Florian
