Until now, we used semicolons in Make's Call function definitions to build
the programs with GNU build system or CMake. Therefore, if any step of the
process failed, the rest would be ignorant to it and pass. Now, we use `&&'
to separate the different processing steps. In this way, we can be sure
that if any of them fails (during configuration, or building for example),
the pipeline will also stop and not continue to the next command (in the
same recipe).
Since the two Make Call functions were identical in the two
`dependencies-basic.mk' and `dependencies.mk', they are now in one file to
be imported in both.
This bug was found by Raul Infante Sainz.

After a test by Raúl Infante Sainz, we found out that the configure script
and the Make script for Bash and Make are making too many assumptions on
more recent versions of both. As a result, it couldn't be built.
Therefore, the `configure' script was modified to not use more recent tools
like `readlink' (to find the absolute address of a relative one). It was
also re-organized to not have to read the configuration parameters from a
text file. The parameters are directly read from the command-line and are
written into the proper file afterwards. This removes the need to opening a
text editor by the user (which also caused problems on Raúl's system).
To fix the Make version issue, the building of Bash and Make are now done
in a new Makefile (`reproduce/src/make/dependencies-basic.mk'). This file
doesn't make many of the assumptions that were made in
`dependencies.mk'. So it should hopefully work on any version of Make.
To help in debugging, for now, the Makefile of configure, are asked to work
on one thread (the `-j' option is commented in the `configure'). But after
checks, we'll fix this.
