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.

This is a sample config file for Freescale e500v2 processors (e.g., MPC8548,
yann@2173
     5
MPC8572). It uses eglibc (for e500/SPE patches) and a recent gcc (4.5.1,
yann@2173
     6
for e500v2 DPFP support) and will generate appropriate dual-precision
yann@2173
     7
floating point instructions by default.

Note: If building a Linux kernel with this toolchain, you will want to make
yann@2173
    10
sure -mno-spe AND -mspe=no are passed to gcc to prevent SPE ABI/instructions
yann@2173
    11
from getting into the kernel (which is currently unsupported). At this time,
yann@2173
    12
the kernel build system properly passes those two options, but older kernels
yann@2173
    13
were only passing -mno-spe by default."
