make-4.2.1 fails wildcard.diff.4 and wildcard.diff.5 on Debian testing for ppc64

[Dennis Clarke]

In actual fact I see these failures on multiple systems today while
trying to run the testsuite.

One item of logistics is this gem :

hydra$ cat ../../src/make_4.2.1_patch_01.u

Hmm...  Looks like a new-style context diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:

Hunk #1 succeeded at 399.
done

That is *needed* on any up to date system with glibc and thus I have to
 run autoconf again to get configure and that runs fine :

This is on a fresh install system with minimal software just for
building GNU make. Mostly because it has been failing all day in
various ways.  Well, mostly the same way. Compile is fine and testing
fails :

The only other interesting bits is the segfaults thrown :

So really I would like to run these two tests in gdb and see where the
 issue is.

Any feedback would be great.
