I think this has been covered over and over and with little reply or progress. The main page for GNU Make[1] says little and the development page[2] says "Latest News"[3] is 4.2.1. The 4.2.1 release simply won't build out-of-the-box on any modern linux with up to date glibc anymore. My approach[4] was to patch configure.ac and then try to get around the problems in glob.c with some elegance. The "Linux From Scratch" people merely say "nuke it out of orbit"[5] with an outright delete of a bunch of lines therein. Regardless Debian sid on bone stock x86_64 hardware reports strange results in the testsuite after some hacks just to get a compile going. So then.
