--- Comment #7 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni at free-electrons.com> 2013-05-26 15:16:03 UTC ---
Making Buildroot build make is not going to solve the problem entirely:
Buildroot itself would still be using the 'make' installed by the distribution,
which may be problematic if the 'make' installed by the distribution doesn't
work properly (for one reason or another).

Conclusion: since make is such a fundamental tool for Buildroot, if something
is broken/inappropriate in make, we need a correct make to be installed prior
to running Buildroot. We are not going to build a new 'make', from source, at
every Buildroot invocation.

Please get in touch with make upstream, and provide a patch that fixes the
behavior of $(wildcard ...) according to your needs.
