Incorrect minimum versions shown for GCC and make

Incorrect minimum versions shown for GCC and make

[Peter Kjellerstedt]

If I look at 
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/singleindex.html#compatible-linux-distribution
the minimum version for GCC is shown as "5.0", while the minimum version 
specified in documentation/poky.yaml.in (MIN_GCC_VERSION) is "7.5".

And the minimum version "&MIN_MAKE_VERSION;" for make indicates that 
the MIN_MAKE_VERSION variable is not defined, but in 
documentation/poky.yaml.in it is set to "4.0".

Based on the above, it seems the development documentation is using the 
poky.yaml.in file for Kirkstone rather than the one for Langdale.

Right, and the documentation is out of date for Kirkstone too.
I'll try to find why this happens.

Thanks again
Michael.

For the reported bug, we need to run git clean -ffdx after git checkout 
the new branch otherwise the git repo is dirty (you can see in the 
autobuilder logs that the poky.yaml file exists for kirkstone and master 
for example, which shouldn't be the case).

Cheers,
Quentin
