IIRC this will break Rust build or Rust testsuite on envs using Binutils or at least this was the case last year.

Thanks. Did someone try this last year?

If all fails we can re-enable it on a per-package basis.

I was able to find the old error: C:/a/rust/rust/i686-w64-mingw32/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/13.2.0/../../../../i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find C:\a\rust\rust\build\i686-pc-windows-gnu\stage2\lib\rustlib\i686-pc-windows-gnu\lib/liballoc-*.rlib: Invalid argument.

It was previously called from Makefile: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128407/files#diff-53c7f7d0d39446b7fbe61af298fbdbdcdfcd1a7f083095343edc545a8926c6f6L14
Since it's rewritten in Rust, this won't fail anymore, but there might be other places (also in different packages) where the toolchain is expected to handle globs, just like on Linux.

Thanks, from what I understand enabling wildcards in gcc would also fix this case? https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/7f67acf60c5429895d7c9e5df81796753e2913e0/gcc/configure.ac#L2263

Sounds likely but won't work for Binutils tools that don't go through GCC like when calling ar, but that might be an uncommon thing to do.

let's see :)
