Package: make

With the -O (output-sync) option, some error messages get lost:

% cat Makefile
all:; $(foreach
% make
m:1: *** unterminated call to function 'foreach': missing ')'. Stop.
% make -O
%

This problem (and a few others with output-sync which have been
discussed and fixed on make's mailing list and Savannah, so I'm not
reporting them individually here) are fixed (I've verified it) in
make-4.1 which has just been released:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2014-10/msg00009.html

Since these bugs severely impact the usability of the new option,
please upgrade to this version before the jessie freeze.
