comptools: do not force build of make-3.81 unless really needed

On systems with make-3.82, we forcibly force the build and the use
of make-3.81

But some newer tools break when building with make-3.81. For example,
eglibc-3.18 breaks.

Introduce a new blind options that tools may select if they require
make-3.81. If the system does not have make-3.81, and this option is
selected, then we force the build of make-3.81. Otherwise, we leave
it to the user to decide on his own.

Note that no component selects this option for now. It will come in
later patches as we find them.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     2 http://www.nabble.com/PATCH:-Use-short-for-fnstsw-td14775171.html

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.

     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
