>Description:

IEEE Std 1003.2-1992, and its successors, require glob_t to have the
following members:

size_t	gl_pathc
char	**gl_pathv
size_t	gl_offs

In NetBSD's <glob.h>, though, gl_pathc and gl_offs are of type int, not
size_t.  This is significant on systems where size_t and int are different
sizes.

>How-To-Repeat:
Inspection of the definition of glob_t in <glob.h>.
Compare with
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/glob.h.html>

>Fix:
glob() will need versioning, again.
