You could try, but I'm not optimistic that it will just work.

I think the way forward is to get the latest code from GNU make's Git
repository and see if that works:

https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=make

Be sure to read the README.git file for information on building from
Git, rather than from a source distribution (it requires extra packages
to be installed, such as autotools).
