I seem to have found a problem with GNU make 3.62. 

I am using the $(wildcard *.c ) function in initialisation of some variable at
the top of my make file, and in some commands. Also the $(wildcard *.h)
function is used in come commands.

Initially there are no *.c or *.h files in the current directory. Before
the commands are run, make is called  in some subdirectories and as a
result .c and .h files are copied into the current directory.

The command which uses the $(wildcard *.h) function works fine, getting
all the .h files, but the command which uses $(wildcard *.c ) thinks there
are no .c files present, which is not correct, but which was correct when
the variable was initialised up at the top.

I don't have the time to track down such a bug. Anyone else seen this sort
of thing?
