I'm seeing the same thing on -STABLE from yesterday.  It appears as if 
newer versions of make are having trouble with the right hand sides of 
the conditionals used in the print/pips800 Makefile.  To duplicate this, 
  try a "make readme" or "make describe" in the print/pips800 directory.
Putting quotes (") around the right hand sides that are not purely 
numeric in the print/pips800 Makefile seems to fix the problem and allow 
"make index" to complete.
