Manoj Srivastava 6536b40890 [master]: A new bug fixing release
* 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

Description: utility for directing compilation
GNU Make is a utility which controls the generation of executables
and other target files of a program from the program's source
files. It determines automatically which pieces of a large program
need to be (re)created, and issues the commands to (re)create
them. Make can be used to organize any task in which targets (files)
are to be automatically updated based on input files whenever the
corresponding input is newer --- it is not limited to building
computer programs. Indeed, Make is a general purpose dependency
solver.
