How about...

ifeq ($(OS),linux)
$(warning OS is linux)
endif

(Note in a previous email Paul pointed out the $(shell echo ... 1&>2) is 
the answer to your question about outputting information without giving 
the Makefile name and line number; I was wrong when I said that wasn't 
possible, silly me).

Reading through some of your questions can I gently suggest that you 
reread the GNU Make documentation or the O'Reilly "Managing Projects 
with GNU Make" book.   You seem a little confused about Make syntax and 
I think it would be good to read the first part of the O'Reilly book to 
help get you up to speed.

John.
