Eventually, I came to the conclusion that I don't understand what you meant by "feature is enabled". AFAIK, the default for MinGW is to use MinGW globbing (as opposed to the one provided by MSVCRT.DLL), and that invokes 'glob' under the hood, no? Can you tell what exactly does showargv does to "enable the feature"? Thanks.
