Nit: In the subsequent content of this article, all commands use "make",
not "gmake". So, is it necessary to mention the content of the patch
[5/6] here? (Use gmake from Homebrew instead of make from Apple), like a
cross-reference, to lead the macOS users to get more detailed info.

But I'm fine with currunt wordings. Because if you try to use 'make',
you'll get 

  Makefile:15: *** GNU Make >= 4.0 is required. Your Make version is 3.81.  Stop.

then, you should realize that Homebrew had told you that you should run
'gmake' instead of 'make'.

Thanks.
