Log Message:
mk/tools: Avoid native GNU make/m4 on all Darwin systems.

Previously this was only done on Big Sur to work around the issue where XCode
does not support running these programs via a symlink, breaking .tools/bin.

However, with the update to autoconf 2.70, the native GNU m4 from 2006 on all
Darwin systems is too old and breaks the build on Catalina and older, causing
massive dependency failures.

Avoiding them both completely at this time is the simplest way forward.
