[Bug libc/14185] fnmatch() fails when '*' wildcard is applied on the file name containing multi-byte character(s)

Rich,
Yes, the proposed patch may have an issue around pattern "[Ã]*" should not
match "\xa1.txt"; not sure if that's a worse situation or not.

The problem the patch fixes has been reported multiple times over the last 10
years or so without anyone taking action in glibc.  gnulib fixed it in
effectively the same way as the patch above in 2005 and I don't think anyone's
reported problems.

SuSE had the patch attached to this BZ in their distro for a while, but pulled
it for reasons unknown.
