GUB

[Knut Petersen]

I try to build GUB on an opensuse Tumbleweed system as this seems to be 
necessary to further investigate the missing-fonts-in-pdfs-if-built-with-gub 
bug.

'make bootstrap' fails early because make 3.81 is broken at least for systems 
that use glibc 2.27. This problem can be fixed with the attached 
0001-Fix-make-for-glibc-2.7.patch

Later 'make bootstrap' fails again because glibc-core-2.3 does not accept gmake 
4.*  A firsts attempt to fix this problem is 
0001-Allow-glibc-core-to-be-compiled-with-gmake-4.x.patch, but after applying 
that patch 'make bootstrap' still fails:

I could have a closer look at the segfault, but there is one question: Is there 
a special reason not to use the 'make' already built during 'make bootstrap'?
