Improve detection of GNU make, avoiding "Arg list too long" errors.
Such errors could take place when the main makefile included too many
sub-makefiles, making $(MAKEFILE_LIST) too long and causing the
recipes $(am__is_gnu_make) to exceed the shell's command-line length
limits. This is not a theoretical issue: it could happen for projects
having lots of C/C++ sources and using automatic dependency tracking,
which created an included .Po sub-makefile for each of such sources.
Fixes http://debbugs.gnu.org/18744
* lib/am/header-vars.am (am__is_gnu_make): Fix the logic to avoid
the use of $(MAKEFILE_LIST).
* NEWS: Update.
