Thus sayith the Documentation/Changes file:
If you upgrade to libc-5.4.46, please read and pay attention to its accompanying release notes. The section about it breaking make is not a joke.
Problem is, I can't find the damned file that says what the workaround is in the source distribution, (not README.*, Changelog or release.libc) and the binary distribution has no docs at all!!
So I can't say RTFM because the FM is no good :( -- My lucky number has been disconnected.
