Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) is a structured naming scheme for
information technology systems, software, and packages.
This information already exists in some makefiles. In order for the
information to be processed further, it should also be added to the
manifest file and the control file of ipkg packages.

undefine was added in make 3.82 which is now some 10 years ago, some
make scripts are beginning to use 'undefine'

There is a restriction in the number of parameters(10) that may be passed to
the SetupHostCommand macro so continually adding explicit gcc'n' version
checks ends up breaking the compiler check for the later versions and
oddballs like Darwin as was done in 835d1c68a0 which added gcc10.
Drop all the explicitly specified gcc version checks. If a suitable gcc
compiler is not found, it may be specified at the dependency checking
stage after which that version will be symlinked into the build staging
host directory.
eg. 'CC=gccfoo CXX=g++foo make prereq'

Lets add GCC 10 detection to the build system as distributions like Fedora 32 have started shipping with it.
Some tools like mtd-utils need work to compile under GCC10, but that will be next step.

getopt is the only command where /usr/local/bin is specified explicitly.
All other commands are assumed to exist in the PATH in one form or
another. Remove this exception and require gnugetopt/getopt to be in
the user's PATH.
In the case of macos Homebrew, getopt is 'keg only' hence not linked
into /usr/local/bin whilst other commands are linked and likely found by
virtue of /usr/local/bin being in PATH.
Since 2019 Homebrew is very reluctant to install links that have
potential to override default OS behaviour, eg: following instructions
on our current 'how to build on macos' wiki page:
$ brew ln gnu-getopt --force
Warning: Refusing to link macOS-provided software: gnu-getopt
If you need to have gnu-getopt first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-getopt/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
A better option for macos is to link getopt as 'gnugetopt' in
/usr/local/bin, thus the build system will find 'gnugetopt' but other
applications looking for just 'getopt' will find the original macos
binary.
Ultimately it makes sense that 'GNU' dependencies are placed in
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/bin is included in the user's PATH.
