The correct fix is to get rid of make 3.81 features.
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.

Sam
