QEMU build fails with cryptic messages if make is too old:

  Makefile.ninja:2655: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

To avoid the confusion it's worth to fail the build right away and print
a friendly error message.

Commit 09e93326e448ab4 says that the switch to ninja from
ninjatool removed the requirement for Make 3.82. Is this
change still required?

thanks

It seems 09e93326e448ab4 has been committed on 17th of October, so after Thomas' review.
I remove it from my queue.

Thanks,

I can confirm:

./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-trace-backends=dtrace && make -j$(nproc)

Works fine on macOS with the latest qemu HEAD. The patch can be
discarded.
