Hello again,

1.  So is the recommended solution then to install a special old copy
of GNU make just for ct-ng that is a version less than 3.82?

2.  Can I tell ct-ng to use some other name than 'make' for the make
program, so I can install both the old make version as something like
'oldmake' and the 3.82 version that I use for everything else would
keep the name 'make'?  If so, how do I do that?

3.  Alternatively, are any of the newer glibc versions actually stable
enough to use and can be built with make-3.82 on ct-ng?   I chose 2.9
since that was the highest version available on the menu, not because
I want that particular antique version of glibc.

4.  If ct-ng will not be updated to support make-3.82 for glibc, then
perhaps ct-ng could check if the default make is GNU make > 3.81, and
if that is true (the default make is not old enough to work with ct-ng
for building glibc), then just not list building glibc as an option,
so nobody else will waste time trying to find a solution to this
issue?
