Synopsis: make's .if processing buggy

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback

State-Changed-When: Wed Oct 23 17:16:10 PDT 2002
State-Changed-Why: 
I'll take responsibility for this...

Can the submitter verify general string compare support in NetBSD make(1)
or similar?  We specifically don't support LHS being a bareword in string
compares, it's been documented in comments in Makefiles that I've seen
dating to the late 1980s...  But if you can provide an example in a BSD
make(1) implementation of this not working as it does, I'll do my best
to merge in the required changes.
