It's true that make doesn't need to be 64-bit itself, however it _does_
need to be able to manipulate 64-bit files.

That is, you want make built with support for large files so it can use
stat() (or stat64() or whatever) to find information on files which are
>2G.  That support should be enabled in GNU make by default if configure
detects that your system supports large files.
