Hi Nick,

I think that this is a good idea, although maybe it would be
helpful to take a two stage approach: for one release (of
binutils) issue an error message if a non-GNU make is used,
but allow a configure option to override this.  (In the same
way that obsolete targets are currently handled).  Then for
the release after that make GNU make a hard requirement.

That way we give users a chance to give us feedback if they
are using a non-GNU make and they do not have the option of
changing.

That seems fair. Would you add that check in the top-level Makefile orin the binutils/ Makefile?
