 You can reduce example to
 
   .if "bar" == "bar"
   .warning "match!"
   .endif
 
 and make(1) would still produce
 
   $ make
   "Makefile", line 1: Malformed conditional ("bar" == "bar")
   "Makefile", line 2: warning: "match!"
   "Makefile", line 3: if-less endif
 
 It was fixed in bmake circa 2004
