make compatibility question

[Thomas Klausner <wiz%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

Hi!

Does anyone remember why make on NetBSD-5 is unhappy this way:

make: "../../lang/python/../../lang/python/versioned_dependencies.mk" line 26: 
Malformed conditional (dns == dateutil)
make: "../../lang/python/../../lang/python/versioned_dependencies.mk" line 26: 
Need an operator
make: "../../lang/python/../../lang/python/versioned_dependencies.mk" line 26: 
Malformed conditional (dns == dns)
make: "../../lang/python/../../lang/python/versioned_dependencies.mk" line 26: 
Need an operator
make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
WARNING (printdepends):  the package in chat/py-xmpppy had problem with
    make print-summary-data
    database information for this package
    will be dropped.


The context is:

23 .for pkg in ${PYTHON_VERSIONED_DEPENDENCIES}
24 _PKG_MATCHED=   no
25 .for name py2dir py3dir in ${_SUPPORTED_PACKAGES}
26 .if ${pkg} == ${name}


(Works on NetBSD-6.)

Thanks,
 Thomas
