This picks out the current version of make in Arch Linux as broken
despite it having a patch for bug #30612. I'm not sure if this is
intended, could be that the applied patch isn't a complete fix. I
don't have time to dig into this, just thought it'd be useful to you
to know.

If you know what fix you're looking for, the applied patches and build
script can be seen at
