Well, it could in case a package behaved differently depending on the
make version (E.G. newer make versions have broken older Makefiles), so
enabling a package X that pulls in host-make suddenly changes something
for the build of package Y - Or the other way around, E.G. package Y
depends on package X which pulls in host-make so we never notice that
package Y needs a newer make version, and then a version bump of Y makes
X optional, ..

But I agree that it is quite unlikely to cause any real issues.

Agreed!
