It's handled by the `upgrade_checks' target in src/Makefile which buildworld depends on. An ability to compile the latest make on the lowest supported version of FreeBSD is a requirement of our build procedure. If your change doesn't meet it, you should really think of either backing it out, or making it compile and work. For RELENG_7 it's currently FreeBSD 5.3, for HEAD -- FreeBSD 6.0.
