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

Refer to [1]:

The issue is fixed when make version upgrading to 4.2.

Thus we need to check make version during selecting on LTO Kconfig.
Add CONFIG_MAKE_VERSION which means MAKE_VERSION in canonical digits
for arithmetic comparisons.
