Ticket #4156 (closed bug: fixed)
globbing not switched off? interferes with substring matching
Description
On windows, ghc-pkg needs to be linked with a CRT_noglob.o (setting _CRT_glob to 0), so that it does not attempt its own globbing.
That does not seem to happen anymore (no sign of CRT_noglob in the build log).
Result is that substring matching does not work correctly. The effect seems to be masked in the testsuite because the substring matches there happen to expand to themselves (no matching files in the current directory):
In a cmd.exe:
>ghc-pkg --version
