The next upstream version of make fixes this, as you note:

  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit?id=f222b19158a91b121af29a6a8eb5d74aa591078a

I suppose that's technically backportable.  However, perhaps for now the
most expedient thing to do would be to build-depend on automake1.10 as
the preferred alternative, since that seems to be the newest version in
the archive older than 1.13.

+    requires de-ANSI-fication support (closes: #709908).
