Title:
  Sync make-dfsg 4.0-5 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Status in “make-dfsg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Please sync make-dfsg 4.0-5 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
    * 0099-job.c_handle_excessive_command_length.patch: Resurrect and rework
      long comand length patch to work with make 4.0 code. (Closes: #688601)

  Applied in Debian.

  Changelog entries since current utopic version 4.0-4ubuntu1:

  make-dfsg (4.0-5) unstable; urgency=low

    * When presented with a very very long command line (e.g. WebKit's linking
      of libWebCore.la in current git), make fails to execute the command as
      it doesn't split the command line to fit within the limits. There is a
      patch used by people to solve this (gentoo, etc). Adam Conrad has
      provided a patch to fix this.  (Closes: #688601).
    * Pre-4.0 make had an memory corruption issue that caused repeated
      execution of a specific makefile to display the cirruption. Running
      with make 4.0 does not show the issue. (Closes: #682895).
    * recently, the Multi-Arch: foreign tag was added toth make binary
      package.  Jakub Wilk pointed out that this is not correct, some of the
      make interfaces are actually architecture-dependent. Reverting that
      change.
    * Bug fix #688601: "fails to execute extraordinarily long command
      lines", thanks to Daniel Stone
    * Bug fix #682895: "incorrect variable handling and corruption", thanks
      to Tim Spriggs
