You should be using misc/glob.c because rpm depends rather intimately
on a GNU extension that uses these vectors in the glob_t structure:

    /* If the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC flag is set, the following functions       are used instead of the normal file access functions.  */    void (*gl_closedir) __PMT ((void *));    struct dirent *(*gl_readdir) __PMT ((void *));    __ptr_t (*gl_opendir) __PMT ((__const char *));    int (*gl_lstat) __PMT ((__const char *, struct stat *));    int (*gl_stat) __PMT ((__const char *, struct stat *)); 

Guessing from the "64" in globfree64() you have managed to
define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE, but perhaps are mixing
which glob.h is included, or can see the _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE define.
