Yes, LilyPond requires at least GNU make 4.2. This is also checked by
configure, but not enforced when actually typing [g]make. I have a
patch series from last July working on configure.ac and also fixing up
the documentation, but never found the time to clean it up properly...

Note that dblatex is an optional dependency for that reason. If found,
it will only be used to run some additional tests. We don't even
install it in the Docker container for CI because if I remember
correctly it pulls in far too many dependencies... So you should be
able to live without.
