Yes, I think it will, someday. When somebody gets around to it. Preferably
someone with experience submitting patches to configure scripts.
Note, however:
1) This has only become a problem recently with a change to gcc
2) A working binary is distributed
3) Most people likely to need to rebuild make are likely to be untroubled
by this small problem.
