That's fine because make is stable, even the GNU flavor.  There really
shouldn't be anything in a makefile that is an issue for 5 year old
make.  The dependency requirements are a different matter, and not
different from make to meson.

That's a clue that something is wrong.  I would pull a date out of a hat
and say that the meson that was the current formal release on 2020-01-01
should be good enough.  So that means the build system should work with
meson 0.52.1 or higher.

Another view is that Ubuntu 20.04's included meson ought to be good
enough.  With any luck that's at least 0.52.1.
