Apple is still shipping

This program built for i386-apple-darwin11.3.0
I'm not sure why it claims to be an i386 build, because that's
the one thing it certainly isn't:
$ file /usr/bin/make
/usr/bin/make: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O
64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e]
/usr/bin/make (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/bin/make (for architecture arm64e): Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e
But at any rate, dropping compatibility with that would likely
be rather painful for some of us, even though most people building
PG on Mac probably use Homebrew or MacPorts and could get a newer
make version from there.
The next oldest make version we still have to contend with in the
wild might be RHEL8's 4.2.1.
