Using wildcard alone, this can only be done using Paul's suggestion.
However, you could define a function and recurse on it.  It is much more
efficient than $(shell)ing to find.  It violates your original
constraint by strip, eval, addsuffix, if, and call ;)

find = \
$(strip \
  $(eval these-files := $(wildcard $(addsuffix /*,$(strip $(1))))) \
  $(these-files) \
  $(if $(strip $(these-files)),$(call find,$(these-files))) \
 )

This gets you everything.  You can $(filter %.cpp,$(call find,dir)) to
make this more specific or define another function which does that for
you or modify the find function to deal with file suffixes or ...
