macOS is similar to FreeBSD in that it ships non-GNU versions
of several base utilities that we need in the base system.
macOS actually includes GNU make already, but unfortunately due
to licensing reasons the tool is permanently stuck in 2006, so
even in that case users are better off installing a recent
version from Homebrew along with the dozens of other libvirt
dependencies that already need to be obtained that way.
Note that, unlike FreeBSD ports, Homebrew is fully consistent
in adding the 'g' prefix to the name of the GNU tools, so we
can detect GNU grep without additional hacks.
