Lars,

Thanks for replying, I know it is just "if" for *automake*, but I want 
to use the *GNU make* conditional (ifdef in this case; other examples 
are ifeq, ifneq, ifndef) in rules that will wind up in the resulting 
Makefile, to be analyzed and executed by GNU make.

Does automake disallow using GNU make conditionals in rules?
