dependencies: check minimal make version early on
Although support/dependencies/dependencies.sh checks for the version of make, this script doesn't get a chance to run if make encounters a syntax error as a result of being too old. For example, the following syntax is only supported from make 3.81 onwards: ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT),y) include toolchain/toolchain-buildroot.mk else ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL),y) include toolchain/toolchain-external.mk else ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_CTNG),y) include toolchain/toolchain-crosstool-ng.mk endif This patch adds a check for the version of make very early in the Makefile, so that old make versions are handled gracefully.
