The only parts common to different flavours of make, as specified in the
POSIX make, are the basic ones. There is no common scheme for
conditionnals.

So yes, Makefile with such constructs are one flavour of make dependent.
And on a BSD system, one must invoke gmake (GNU make) for this to run.

That is one of the strengh of the historical GRASS make scheme to create
basic Makefiles that use basic constructs compatible with BSD make or
GNU make.
