{UD} You definitely need GNU make to build GNU libc. No other make
program has the needed functionality.
We recommend version GNU make version 3.75 or 3.77. Versions before 3.75
have bugs and/or are missing features. Version 3.76 has bugs which
appear when building big projects like GNU libc. 3.76.1 appears to work but
some people have reported problems. If you build GNU make 3.77 from source,
please read question 4.6 first.

{AJ} GNU make 3.77 has support for 64 bit filesystems which is slightly
broken (and one of the new features in the GNU C library 2.1 is 64 bit
filesystem support :-( ). To get a working make you can use either make
3.75 or patch 3.77. A working patch is available via RedHat's Rawhide server
