  Yes, I think it will, someday. When somebody gets around to it. Preferably
someone with experience submitting patches to configure scripts.
 Note, however:
  1) This has only become a problem recently with a change to gcc
  2) A working binary is distributed
  3) Most people likely to need to rebuild make are likely to be untroubled
     by this small problem.
