As discussed on IRC, this is not sufficient, because you need to set
GLIBC_MAKE to the correct value, otherwise package/pkg-autotools.mk
uses $(MAKE), which points to /usr/bin/make.

Due to this, the make built by Buildroot is in fact not used.

Also, perhaps you could split this patch into to: one patch adding the
support/dependencies/ logic, and another tweaking the glibc package.

Could you look into this?

Thanks!

Thomas
