That's not a terribly practical answer for people who use the "make"
supplied by their OS vendor, which is approximately 99.9% of people.
It's even less practical for packagers, who don't have a choice about
what tool set to use.

Even if I wanted to use a locally-patched make, I'm not sure I'd trust a
patch that doesn't seem to have been signed off on by any actual gmake
developer or maintainer.  That sort of cure is frequently worse than the
disease.
