Thanks Gerald,
JonY: what about the attached patch to document the change of behavior of GCC on
Windows depending on the configure option used?
Best regards,
Thomas

Will do once the file is created for gcc-8. Thanks for the suggestion
Here we go. :-) Applied.

+<h1>Porting to GCC 8</h1>
+
+<p>
+The GCC 8 release series differs from previous GCC releases in
+<a href="changes.html">a number of ways</a>. Some of these are a result
+of bug fixing, and some old behaviors have been intentionally changed
+to support new standards, or relaxed in standards-conforming ways to
+facilitate compilation or run-time performance.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some of these changes are user visible and can cause grief when
+porting to GCC 8. This document is an effort to identify common issues
+and provide solutions. Let us know if you have suggestions for improvements!

+<p>GCC on Microsoft Windows can now be configured via
+<code>--enable-mingw-wildcard</code> or <code>--disable-mingw-wildcard</code>
+to force a specific behavior for GCC itself with regards to supporting or
+not the wildcard character. Prior versions of GCC would follow the
+configuration of MinGW runtime. This behavior can still be obtained by not
+using the above options or by using
+<code>--enable-mingw-wildcard=platform</code>.</p>
