dev-build/make: allow live ebuild to cache gnulib
make doesn't use a submodule for gnulib, which means every time it
bootstraps it does so expensively into ${WORKDIR} with no eclass
caching.
To make things even worse, ./bootstrap is old and buggy and does not try
shallow cloning at all, since it doesn't detect support by grepping -h
output due to "presentation formatting fixes" in git. The full clone
is... not small.
