I think this is a locale problem. GNU make 3.79.1 uses the standard
libc globbing library, which obeys the sorting order in the locale.
Make sure your locale (LC_ALL and/or LANG) is set to "C", or at least
your sort order (LC_COLLATE) is set that way, and not to en_US or
whatever.

One of our users brought this problem to my attention. The problem
occurs on linux (RedHat 6.2) but not on solaris. I have not tried
any other architectures. Nor does it exist in 3.78.1.
