LTO with MODVERSION will fail in generating correct CRC because
the makefile rule doesn't work for make with version 3.8X.

Refer to [1]:

The issue fixed when make version upgrading to 4.2.

Thus we need to check make version during selecting on LTO Kconfig.
The MAKE_VERSION_INT means MAKE_VERSION in canonical digits integer and
implemnted by imitating CLANG_VERSION.
