Yup, its erroring out on a GNUmake specific if-else. At least, I do not
see ifeq as an option under make(1), rather we have .if

But it is even worse than that, the if-else in question tests for OS
based on uname and sets variable accordingly. Further, the test would
result in anything that is not Linux or Mac/Darwin being identified as
Windows.
