Details:
INSTALL says one should run "./configure" but it's not included when
downloading from the git repo. It's included in .gitignore which may explain
that.
% git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/make.git
% cd make
% ./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
% autoconf
configure.ac:32: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:45: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_AR
configure.ac:54: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION
configure.ac:55: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GNU_GETTEXT
configure.ac:74: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_C_O
configure.ac:86: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_STRUCT_ST_MTIM_NSEC
configure.ac:113: error: possibly undefined macro: pds_AC_DOS_PATHS

% ./configure

A lot of files seems to be missing so I ended up having to extract them from
the latest packaged release.
% wget -qO- https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.2.1.tar.bz2 | tar
--strip-components=1 -xjvf -
% git reset --hard
% ./configure
% make
% make check

The system uptime program believes the load average to be:
uptime
08:55:48 up 5 days, 12:45, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.07, 0.01
The GNU load average checking code thinks:
./loadavg
1-minute: 0.080000 5-minute: 0.070000 15-minute: 0.010000
