Reflect update of msys2 wildcard support for the GCC compiler #8273
Description
Some time ago, wildcard expansion was disabled in all of msys2's packages.
This was already discussed, and a PR was made to update the suggestion in the docs.
microsoft/vscode-cpptools#13096
#7919
After some internal discussion, it was decided to enable wildcard expansion for the GCC package through this PR.
msys2/MINGW-packages#23517
It might be a good idea to update your docs to reflect this change, again.

I searched the current documentation and couldn’t find any references to MSYS2 wildcard expansion or the previous behavior described in this issue.
It looks like the docs may have been refactored since this was filed, and there may no longer be an explicit mention to update.
Could you confirm which section should be updated, or whether this would be a new documentation addition?
