commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=1112eb6b557f769a71eeb5b6b3c39caca01c4086
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The uClibc test suite can be installed on the target thanks to the
BR2_UCLIBC_INSTALL_TEST_SUITE option, but it requires make to be
installed on the target. Since the make package is currently marked as
deprecated, it leads to the following warning:

warning: (BR2_UCLIBC_INSTALL_TEST_SUITE) selects BR2_PACKAGE_MAKE which has unmet direct dependencies (BR2_DEPRECATED)

We fix this by undeprecating the make package, and also update its
description to explain why we have the make package even if we don't
have support for building a toolchain for the target.
