make is now priority optional, along with gcc, floex and
bison. make-guile, which conflicts with it, is now priority extra.
Bug fix: "Neither make nor make-guile should be standard", thanks to
Josh Triplett (Closes: #761301).
Bug fix: "make instead of make-guile should be standard", thanks to
Joey Hess (Closes: #762017).

Update the timeout for the fopen fail test to 300 seconds, since the
test was taking longer than the default 5 seconds to run. The root
cause was discovered by Víctor M. Jáquez L. (Closes: #748657)
* There is an issue involving UTF-8 characters and the function
find_char_unquote (read.c). The problem in the macro STOP_SET
(makeint.h) where a character is converted to an int. Conversion to
int is not correct. Characters with codes greater than 0x7f ( in
particular in Cyrillic UTF- 8 ) into a large negative number. Thnks to
the analysis from Юрий Матронов <ymuser@mail.ru>. This bug was
independently reported and fixed upstream, so cherry picking that
commit from upstream (which also comes with a test).
(Closes: #747764).
* added a script that, given a list of targets, will build the first
target that actually exists. Script created by Joey Hess.

* Also create a new binary package, make-guile, which is identical to
the make package, but has built in support for Guile a a programming
langiage, and adds run time dependencies outside of libc.
(Closes: #747615, #747674).
* Bug fix#747615: "Please provide a version with Guile support
enabled", thanks to Jose Antonio Ortega Ruiz
* Bug fix#747674: "undeterministic build due to missing configure
arguments/build-conflicts", thanks to Bernhard R. Link

* When presented with a very very long command line (e.g. WebKit's linking
of libWebCore.la in current git), make fails to execute the command as
it doesn't split the command line to fit within the limits. There is a
patch used by people to solve this (gentoo, etc). Adam Conrad has
provided a patch to fix this. (Closes: #688601).
* Pre-4.0 make had an memory corruption issue that caused repeated
execution of a specific makefile to display the cirruption. Running
with make 4.0 does not show the issue. (Closes: #682895).
* recently, the Multi-Arch: foreign tag was added toth make binary
package. Jakub Wilk pointed out that this is not correct, some of the
make interfaces are actually architecture-dependent. Reverting that
change.
* Bug fix#688601: "fails to execute extraordinarily long command
lines", thanks to Daniel Stone
* Bug fix#682895: "incorrect variable handling and corruption", thanks
to Tim Spriggs
Moving this version of make to unstable, All known problems exposed in

Cherry pick upstream patch to Propagate correct rule status results.
Bug fix: "New make behaviour confuses dpkg-buildpackages' test for
make targets" (Closes: #746443).
* Pull back some patches from upstream git that fix bugs. One of these
converts the mixed implicit and explicit rule error into a warning,
and that should give us a grace period to fix the Makefiles,
* Bug fix: "FTBFS with make 3.82 from experimental", thanks to Daniel
Schepler. This package was not reported broken in the archive rebuild:
see http://aws-logs.debian.net/ftbfs-logs/results-make4/ (Closes: #720686).
* Bug fix: "make 3.82: with -j tries to run receipes without
prerequisites yet done", thanks to Bernhard R. Link. This was not seen
in the archive rebuild, and the upstream report has ben closed a being
fixed in 4.0 (Closes: #722520).
* Bug fix: "run dh-autoreconf to update config.{sub,guess} and
{libtool,aclocal}.m4", thanks to Wookey. We now do indeed run
autoreconf. (Closes: #689626).
* Bug fix: "spurious circular dependency", thanks to Frank Heckenbach

declaration", thanks to Helmut Grohne (Closes: #693926).
