On systems with make-3.82, we forcibly force the build and the use
of make-3.81
But some newer tools break when building with make-3.81. For example,
eglibc-3.18 breaks.
Introduce a new blind options that tools may select if they require
make-3.81. If the system does not have make-3.81, and this option is
selected, then we force the build of make-3.81. Otherwise, we leave
it to the user to decide on his own.
Note that no component selects this option for now. It will come in
later patches as we find them.

Since the advent of make-3.82, some packages now break due to changes
in make-3.82, being stricter than 3.81 when interpreting the Makefiles.
This has bugged us a bit too much so far, and I believe fixing all
of them is a long road, while simply building make-3.81 is the easiest
route for now.
Of course, in the long term, packages will get fixed upstream, and we
should back-port the fixes to old versions, and get rid of building
make-3.81. In the meantime...
Reported several times on the mailing list.
