Docs: Update mac instructions to gmake

Browse Source 
Apple bundles a rather old version of GNU Make: 3.81. Our Makefiles use the &: feature which requires version 4.3. Apparently Apple isn’t updating GNU Make anymore due to a licensing issue.

Switching the instructions over to using gmake installed from the brew package manager, which currently installs 4.4.1
