Move this line into cfg.mk. Since 'make syntax-check' can only
activated if you use GNU make (because it is only specified in
maint.mk), we should hide any dependencies added to it inside our
customization of maint.mk, rather than putting it directly in Makefile.am.
[That said, an independent conversation on IRC pointed out that we
currently require the use of GNU make for other pre-existing reasons
within our various Makefile.am files. Maybe a noble goal to make things
portable to other makes, but it's not a show-stopper and certainly
nowhere near the top of my todo list]
