Update the NEWS file to state that versions earlier than 3.82 are not supported. 3.82 was released in 2010, 3.81 was released 2006. A quick investigation of the default GNU make version provided across various distros found the earliest provided version to be 3.82: *RHEL 7, Centos 6 - make 3.82 *Fedora 27 - make 4.2.1 *OpenSuse 42.2, SLES11 - make 4.2.1 *Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 - make 4.1 *Debian Jessie - make 4.0 Note that Glibc requires at least 4.0, whereas GCC still allows 3.81. gdb/ChangeLog: * NEWS: Require GNU make 3.82.
