Masahiro Yamada 5f99665ee8 kbuild: raise the minimum GNU Make requirement to 4.0
RHEL/CentOS 7, popular distributions that install GNU Make 3.82, reached
EOM/EOL on June 30, 2024. While you may get extended support, it is a
good time to raise the minimum GNU Make version.

The new requirement, GNU Make 4.0, was released in October, 2013.

I did not touch the Makefiles under tools/ because I do not know the
requirements for building tools. I do not find any GNU Make version
checks under tools/.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
