I think I found the problem:
while running configure in glibc, configure finds make 4.0 but checks
for 3.79* or 3.8* or 3.9*.

Here is what's about make in Makefile.in:

AC_CHECK_PROG_VER(MAKE, gnumake gmake make, --version,
  [GNU Make[^0-9]*\([0-9][0-9.]*\)],
  [3.79* | 3.[89]*], critic_missing="$critic_missing make")

probably an old glibc compared to my make.

Anything I can do to either download a newer glibc or change
autmatically Makefile.in from glibc?

Thanks,

Frédéric
