+Revert "skip -gfile: call fnmatch without FNM_FILE_NAME"
+
+This reverts commit 02646a4c561ec88491114b87950cbb827c7d614c.  See:
+
+  https://inbox.sourceware.org/gdb-patches/20260203185528.946918-1-guinevere@redhat.com
+
+This commit introduced a non backward compatible change to how GDB
+handled skip files.  Something like:
+
+  skip -gfile dir/*.c
+
+no longer matches every file within 'dir/', but now matches every file
+in 'dir/' and within every sub-directory of 'dir/', which might not be
+what the user wanted.
+
+The original intention behind the commit is solid, we just need to
+find a better implementation.
