Dear Paul :

    I am using your patches plus two of my own and GNU Make 4.2.1 that I
just built and tested here.  I also --disable-posix-spawn thus :


beta$ pwd
/opt/bw/build/make-4.2.90_SunOS5.10_sparc64vii+.003
beta$
beta$ dn
20190827225058
beta$
beta$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/bw --program-prefix=g \
> --disable-silent-rules --enable-dependency-tracking \
> --disable-posix-spawn --without-gnu-ld \
> --without-libiconv-prefix --without-libintl-prefix

This results in a very clean looking configure and a very quite and
clean compile with these CFLAGS :

beta$
beta$ echo $CC
/opt/developerstudio12.6/bin/c99
beta$
beta$ echo $CFLAGS
-Xc -g -errfmt=error -erroff=%none -xmemalign=8s -errshort=full 
-xstrconst -xildoff -m64 -xnolibmil -xcode=pic32 -xregs=no%appl 
-xlibmieee -ftrap=%none -xarch=sparc -mc -xs -xbuiltin=%none 
-xdebugformat=dwarf -xunroll=1
beta$

Test results are :

Meanwhile I have 4.2.1 building just fine.
