This strikes me as an unreasonable requirement, particularly given all
the effort that has been made in the past to keep supporting older versions
of GCC.

FC1 has GNU Make 3.79.1, FC3 and CentOS 4 have 3.80. Even FC5 has 3.80 !!
Asterisk 1.2 builds fine on all those systems. I have even built trunk a
couple of months ago on FC1, with apparent success.

So what are the potential problems with not using version 3.81 or later of
GNU Make?  Please can some effort be put into removing this restriction?

Cheers
Tony
