scons: Check for "make" when using LTO with gcc.
gcc uses "make" to parallelize LTO. If we're using gcc and make isn't
found, we have to use single threaded LTO instead. A warning will let
the user know what's happening and that they might want to correct the
situation.
Technically gcc can use the MAKE environment variable to override the
program it uses, although I assume it still has to be "make" compatible.
Given the fairly low likelihood that someone will need that override and
the fact that scons won't pipe that variable through unless we plumb it
up, we'll just ignore that for now.
