[Buildroot] [for-next: 2/2] dependencies: host-make version check

[Romain Naour <romain.naour@gmail.com>]

The host make program is already checked by dependencies.sh but we
want to check the version number even if Buildroot is able to use
GNU make >= 3.81 but some packages may require a more recent version.

For example, since version 2.28 [1], glibc requires GNU Make >= 4.0.
