The problem is that we are running a makefile in the test that compiles
some code (we have to actually compile code because ar on some systems
won't allow an empty file to be added to an archive) and that uses the
default compiler etc. settings that make was built with.
We'll have to override these settings in that test.

Yes, that's how it's done in other tests. I'll have to check why that
wasn't done here. Maybe an oversight.

Indeed, there is no 'cc' nor 'gcc' in $PATH on this system. The reason is
that several C compilers can be chosen. I installed GCC 10, and then set the
environment variable
CC="gcc-10"
and this is found in $PATH, as /usr/bin/gcc-10.
Per GNU standards [1], a GNU package should use $CC, not 'cc' — so that users
have the freedom to use a compiler of their choice (clang, TinyCC, whatever...).
In this test you have the lines
# Fallback if configure did not find AR
my $ar = get_config('AR') || 'ar';
Why not do the same for CC?
my $cc = get_config('CC') || 'cc';

Re: GNU Make 4.4.0.90 on Debian 11.1
On Debian 11.1 / x86_64 (a glibc 2.31 system) I don't see the older test failures from https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2022-10/msg00124.html any more. But instead I see 4 test failures in the 'features/archives' category. Find the logs attached. makeerror-4.4.0.90-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-7l0o.tar.gz Description: application/compressed-tar
