Severity: minor

I'm seeing the below warnings every time I run "make bootstrap", and
compilation-mode naturally flags it.

Is it related to merging the Android port?

/usr/bin/make -C java bootstrap-clean

What version of GNU make have you installed?  It appears this make
doesn't provide for group targets.

Apparently, I was using some old version shipped with macOS:

    $ make --version
    GNU Make 3.81
    Copyright (C) 2006  Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The warnings went away once I made sure I used 4.4.1.

Thanks for the pointer.

Ah.  As long as this version isn't building the Android port itself,
this warning message is inconsequential.  I expect most users to have a
newer make installed.
