The GenMake.py script tests the platform environment
to determine the type of makefile that needs to be
generated. If a Windows build host is detected, the
makefile generated is of Nmake type. Otherwise a
GNUmake type is generated.
Furthermore, the <TARGET>_<TAGNAME>_<ARCH>_MAKE_PATH
option in tools_def.template defines the make tool
to use.
E.g.: for VS2017 this is configured to use Nmake, cf.
*_VS2017_*_MAKE_PATH = DEF(VS2017_BIN_HOST)\nmake.exe
while for GCC5 it is setup to use GNU make.
*_GCC5_*_MAKE_PATH = DEF(GCC_HOST_PREFIX)make
This prevents using the GCC compiler toolchain on a
Windows build host.
To address this issue this patch introduces 2 factors
to determine the generated makefile output.
1. Platform -> to determine shell commands used
in makefile.
2. MakeTool -> to determine the type of makefile
that needs to be generated.

If removing a header file from source code and file
system, the incremental build will fail.
This patch is to fix this issue by setting each header file
as a target without any actions in makefile.
