At present I can't build glibc in rawhide because make segfaults:
+ make -j4 -O -r 'CFLAGS=-mtune=generic -g -O2 -fstack-clash-protection'
make -r PARALLELMFLAGS="" -C .. objdir=`pwd` all
make: *** [Makefile:9: all] Segmentation fault (core dumped)
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.g0o5R3 (%build)
cvc4 shows the same problem:
Making all in src
/bin/sh: line 12: 16161 Segmentation fault (core dumped) make $local_target
We should tag in the last known good make.
I've run out of time to debug this but I wanted to pass on my notes.
(1) Run the testsuite.
If the package you rebuild has a testsuite please make sure you run it
and review the results.
The make testsuite was not run, there is a driver problem with it.
Sadly, the make testsuite hasn't been run since F26:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/make/4.2.1/2.fc26/data/logs/...
where it passed with no failures.
We should strive hard to make sure that testsuite runs every time,
and that the results are 100% pass.
(2) make segfaults here.

You have to set follow-fork-mode child, and set detach-on-fork off
to catch the faulting child process in gdb (and flip between processes
to run them in sequence).
(3) Building make-4.2.1-5 in F27 works.
A `fedpkg local` build of make make-4.2.1-5.fc28 results in binaries
that work. This worries me a little because it looks like a toolchain
interaction.
When I come back online I'll keep trying to fix this.
