* 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)
* Bug fix #748657: "make-dfsg failed to run test: work/misc/fopen-fail.mk",
  thanks to Yunqiang Su.

* 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 <email address hidden>. 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.
  (Closes: #598534).
* Bug fix #747764: "make 4.0-5 bug", thanks to Юрий Матронов
* Bug fix #598534: "add make-first-existing-target", thanks to 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

0099-job.c_handle_excessive_command_length.patch: Resurrect and rework
long comand length patch to work with make 4.0 code. (Closes: #688601)

16. By Colin Watson on 2013-06-08

* Temporarily prefer automake1.10, as the newest automake currently
  available in the archive before 1.13; this version of make still
  requires de-ANSI-fication support (closes: #709908).
* Mark make Multi-Arch: foreign (closes: #693926).

Update config.guess,sub for aarch64

* Backport a third party patch (from Webkit) to work around argument length
  limitations in the shell when specifying many files at once. The only
  archive package known to be affected is webkit, which is expected to be
  fixed (ref. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94435), at which point
  we can consider reversing this patch.
* Define PAGE_SIZE if it's not already. Needed on some arches (arm) for the
  above patch.

* Non-maintainer upload.
* expand.c: Apply patch from Savannah #20033 to fix segfault when
  using parallel (-j2) make with $(eval). (Closes: #622644)

12. By Matthias Klose on 2011-05-30

Fix bug #20033: parallel (-j2) make with $(eval) construct segfaults.
Closes: #622644. LP: #759704.
