How to define/calculate the *weight* in your context? Why you say the
weight of 'a' is less than the weight of 'A'

We find that the $LANG will affect how glibc deal with the wildcard.
We all test on LANG=en_US.UTF=8, but if I set export LANG=C, then
[a-z] and [A-Z] are all as expected, and xfstests make install works.
