Bug under Win32 with gnumake 3.79.1 and 3.77

[Hauke Jans]

        Dear Maintainers of gnumake.
I think i found a bug under win32 of gnumake
which did bite me.

Version tested: 3.77 and 3.79.1, compiled with msvc++.

Problem:

X=$(wildcard c:\\*.*)
does not macht anything under win32 while
X=$(wildcard c:/*.*)
does match the given files.
This is a problem for me, since make does
use the "\\" as the path separator internally
when handling files, so we did in our makefiles
under win32.

Workaround:
I Used:

X_PATH=c:\\temp\\
X=$(subst /,\\, $(wildcard $(subst \\,/,$(X_PATH))*.*))

in my makefile.
Since this solution looks somewhat ugly,
could someone please consider fixing this bug?


        Thanx in advance

                Hauke Jans
