Hi,
make 3.82 will require some transitions due to backward
incompatibility on GNU-make-specific features. Some bug reports have
already occurred for build issues with make 3.82, such as
http://bugs.debian.org/603759 . Since there are known backward
incompatibilities, make has been up

Hmm. I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that he's pushing

going to be portable:
