You think you could make this compile-time instead of run-time?
Maybe actually use a #pragma... The determination of whether or
not to glob will be dependent upon the particular program (is it
eg an archiver, a file-finder, an intelligent 'mv', ...) and 
twiddling an environment variable before running each program is
sub-optimal.  Depending on the mechanism you used, could this be
solved by linking in different startup modules?
