I always do a cvsup on the subdirectory I'm building in, so it's
pretty much up to date.  Here's an example of one that's failing:

> grep \$FreeBSD Makefile
# $FreeBSD: ports/mail/p5-Mail-SpamAssassin/Makefile,v 1.43 2003/04/07

No:

/usr/bin/make

Make just doesn't seem to like this kind of construct:

.if ${PERL_LEVEL} < 500600
RUN_DEPENDS+=   ${SITE_PERL}/Pod/Usage.pm:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/p5-PodParser
BUILD_DEPENDS+= ${SITE_PERL}/Pod/Usage.pm:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/p5-PodParser
.endif

It responds with:

"Makefile", line 27: Malformed conditional (${PERL_LEVEL} < 500600)
"Makefile", line 27: Need an operator
"Makefile", line 30: if-less endif
"Makefile", line 30: Need an operator

It's a brand new /usr/bin/make built when I upgraded to 4.8-STABLE
yesterday.
