Well, IMHO we shouldn't check for GNU date but for the extensions it
implements. Those could be included in other date implementations. For
instance, it looks like busybox's date implements the -u and -d options
too.

Also, I don't think it should be up to the Makefile to figure out which
date binary to use. It should be up to the user to put the right one as
"date", e.g. with an alias. That is, unless the name for GNU date is
something really standardized on non-GNU systems.

I advise running date with the needed options (-u -d) and checked the
error code instead of this. And of course, the variable names shouldn't
mention GNU date.
