    docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81 · 37d69ee3
    Masahiro Yamada 提交于
    Since 2014, you can't successfully build kernels with GNU Make version
    3.80. Example errors:
    
      $ git describe
      v4.11
      $ make --version | head -1
      GNU Make 3.80
      $ make defconfig
        HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
      scripts/Makefile.host:135: *** missing separator.  Stop.
      make: *** [defconfig] Error 2
      $ make ARCH=arm64 help
      arch/arm64/Makefile:43: *** unterminated call to function `warning': missing `)'.  Stop.
      $ make help >/dev/null
      ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:25: Extraneous text after `else' directive
      ./Documentation/Makefile.sphinx:31: *** only one `else' per conditional.  Stop.
      make: *** [help] Error 2
    
    The first breakage was introduced by commit c8589d1e ("kbuild:
    handle multi-objs dependency appropriately").  Since then (i.e. v3.18),
    GNU Make 3.80 has not been able to compile the kernel, but nobody has
    ever complained aboutt (or noticed) it.
    
    Even GNU Make 3.81 is more than 10 years old.  It would not hurt to
    match the documentation with reality instead of fixing makefiles.
