[Xen-devel] [PATCH] build: specify minimum versions of make and binutils

[Doug Goldstein <cardoe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To help people avoid having to figure out what versions of make and
binutils need to be supported document them explicitly. The version of
binutils that had to be supported was mentioned in
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-01/msg00609.html
as 2.17. Knowing that Jan got these versions from SLES10 I looked up the
version of GNU make from the same vintage (mid-2006) and landed on 3.81.
