[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] 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 recently. It was decided that the versions should instead be
GNU binutils 2.16.1 and GNU Make 3.80 in
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-01/msg02134.html
