Above error is caused by the bug in the old make trying to
evaluate `${WITH_FIDO:L} != no' even if `defined(WITH_FOO)' was false.
This bug was fixed after 4.5-RELEASE. One workaround to cope with
such an old make is to split the conditional as below.
.if defined(WITH_FIDO)
.if ${WITH_FIDO:L} != no
...
.endif
.endif
Just FYI.
