[GNU] Update Make Version

There’re some situation that you need to update your Make version to 4.0 or later.
Try this in terminal:

cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.1.tar.gz
tar xvf make-4.1.tar.gz

./configure
make
sudo make install
rm -rf make-4.1.tar.gz make-4.1

You can make it your default make by prefixing /usr/local/bin
to your $PATH variable in your shell startup file

Cross-Compiler is a compiler that can compile a executable file which can execute on a different platform.

Like gcc on Linux can get a ARM executable file.

The advantage is that we can get the exe file through a high-performance x86 PC, instead of ARM CPU. And it’ll make the compile time more faster.
