>Description:
make describe is broken due to a change that older versions of make can't handle:

mercea# make describe
"Makefile", line 31: warning: String comparison operator should be either == or !=
"Makefile", line 31: Malformed conditional ((${OSVERSION} < 500035))
"Makefile", line 31: Missing dependency operator
"Makefile", line 33: if-less endif
"Makefile", line 33: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/emulators/vba
make describe

with an old version of make
