The problem is that Debian and distributions that depend on it
have refused to upgrade its make package from 3.81 to 3,82 due to
some obscure problem with compiling tiny fragments of the Linux kernel;
see this mailing list's archive for details.  Until this changes
(which may be soon), your admin will need to compile and install
make from source code.  As you can see, this isn't hard,
and it probably won't break anything, either, unless you
have lots of complicated homegrown Makefiles.
