If that means that a release 3.80.1 is planned, would it be possible
to add constant variables $(GNUMAKE_VERSION_MAJOR) and
$(GNUMAKE_VERSION_MINOR) (or something like that)? When I updated my
Makefiles to try to do especially cool things for 3.80, I found that
it is difficult from within the Makefile to determine which version of
make is interpreting it. I ended up doing an
  ifdef MAKEFILE_LIST
but that is hardly an elegant solution.
