I believe https://www.macports.org/ should make it easy to install whatever newer dependency than what ships built in with the OS. (I don't use MacOS, though.) According to: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/devel/gmake/Portfile they have 4.1 available. So I think macOS wouldn't be a problem if we wanted to require something newer.
