If you are using GCC and add -save-temps to CXXFLAGS, then you will
get .ii files for each .cc file that is compiled.  Those files
contain the output from the preprocessor, which should include the
full file names of all the files included.

Oops, I meant liboctave/glob-match.cc.  It also includes glob.h, so
maybe the lines will need to be changed from

   #include <fnmatch.h>
   #include <glob.h>

to

   extern "C" {
   #include <fnmatch.h>
   #include <glob.h>
   }
