Title: make: PATCHES from gentoo

Lately I have a feeling that our make isn't in a very good state. Now I was fixing firebird build and needed to patch make... but I thought it will be good to use the patches system-wide. I took all from what Gentoo uses for system-wide make (so they should be well-tested) and tried to rebuild firebird's closure.

I see no reason not to merge this, but it's a significant stdenv change so you might want to review/comment.
