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.

Scott
