comptools: add make-3.81

Since the advent of make-3.82, some packages now break due to changes
in make-3.82, being stricter than 3.81 when interpreting the Makefiles.

This has bugged us a bit too much so far, and I believe fixing all
of them is a long road, while simply building make-3.81 is the easiest
route for now.

Of course, in the long term, packages will get fixed upstream, and we
should back-port the fixes to old versions, and get rid of building
make-3.81. In the meantime...

Reported several times on the mailing list.

Raising the size of the hash table is a noticable win when linking

at least one large app.

to do this dynamically.  No idea why that didn't make it in.

So this tiny change to raise the default size is just

a stopgap for now.
