sanity: Show a warning that make 4.2.1 is buggy on non-ubuntu systems

We keep seeing hangs on the autobuilder with make 4.2.1 on Centos8, Alma8
and OpenSuse workers. The hang occurs in perl and kernel builds in particular.
The issue is fixed in 4.3 and has been patched on Ubuntu systems:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=78b5fec6898c26956d00548427cda1101cb80f8a
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?51400

Add a sanity test for make 4.2.1 and error for non-ubuntu systems. We're
making a buildtools-make-tarball available which can be used to
allow systems with the broken version to use the project.
