Bug#342906: klibc: FTBFS on Sparc64 (local build)

[Frans Pop]

Package: klibc
Version: 1.1.1-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Fails to build from source

I was trying to recover from yaird failing to create an initrd for the
new kernel and, to install initramfs-tools, had to try to build klibc
locally as it's not available from the mirrors for Sparc.

This resulted in the following build failure:

[...]
strip gzip -o gzip.stripped
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/projects/klibc/klibc-1.1.1/gzip'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/projects/klibc/klibc-1.1.1'
touch debian/stamp-makefile-build
if [ -e ash/sh.shared ]; then mv -f ash/sh.shared ash/sh; fi
make: *** No rule to make target `configure', needed by `build/libklibc-dev'.  
Stop.

Bug#342906: klibc: FTBFS on Sparc64 (local build))

[Frans Pop]

The bug seems to be caused by the new make (3.80+3.81.b3-1).
The README.Debian lists several backwards incompatibility warnings for 
this version. Possibly the build failure is caused by one of those.

The build succeeded after downgrading to make 3.80-12.

I'm not sure where this problem needs to be fixed: klibc, cdbs or make. 
I'll leave it up to you to reassign.

Cheers,
FJP
