From 5f99665ee8f4335f334a5292b6d5b41a577fc2c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2024 22:47:55 +0900 Subject: kbuild: raise the minimum GNU Make requirement to 4.0 RHEL/CentOS 7, popular distributions that install GNU Make 3.82, reached EOM/EOL on June 30, 2024. While you may get extended support, it is a good time to raise the minimum GNU Make version. The new requirement, GNU Make 4.0, was released in October, 2013. I did not touch the Makefiles under tools/ because I do not know the requirements for building tools. I do not find any GNU Make version checks under tools/.
