U-Boot is expected to be built on various platforms.
We should keep in mind that the command 'make' is not always GNU Make, while all the makefiles are written for GNU Make.
For example, on Linux, people generally do:
make <board>_config; make
But FreeBSD folks do
gmake <board>_config; gmake
(The command 'make' on FreeBSD is BSD Make, not GNU Make)
It is not a good idea to hard-code the command name 'make' in MAKEALL or buildman.
They should call this helper script and get the command name for GNU Make.

Changes in v2: - Use dashes for filename - Show the command name instead of invoking make. It allows us to check the command name once at startup (and error out if no GNU Make is found.)
