Option two: we could require GNU make. GCC has done this for years,

I think requiring GNU make is pretty safe at this point; it's
preinstalled on most (all?) modern systems, we've scrubbed out a lot of
ancient hosts, and if people really want to build on something old,
getting GNU make is going to be among the easier of their tasks.
