However, I must compile some older glibc (2.17, when make was version 3.something) for a foreign architecture (armhf and aarch64), and find myself scratching my head at where the configure script is determining my version of make is too old. There is a configure.in with AC_CHECK_PROG_VER, which I have modified trying to get it to accept the much newer version 4.0. My changes are either wrong, or ignored, and configuration always fails with "make" missing or too old.

If "foreign architecture" means cross compiling, does the error come from
the cross-compile tool-chain and is that the configuration you have been
looking at?
