[lug] Disable Autoconf Version Check?

Hi,
 
I'm using Fedora 23 with everything updated, which means "make" is currently version 4.0. 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.
 
Is there any kind of command line argument I might be able to pass for autoconf to ignore version checking on "make"?
 
Thanks!
