We do want the kernel buildable with make 3.79 and we have today only two places where we do need a newer version of make: scripts/Makefile.headerinst and now firmware/Makefile Both places should be reworked to avoid this dependency. I plan to take care of Makfile.headerinst soonish in an attempt to speed up the checking process (has been on my TODO list for a long time), And we should not introuduce the below make 3.81 specific feature. I have not looked into alternative - sorry.
