The conditional directive are specific to each version of Make.  I wrote 
that Makefile for GNU Make.  If you care about not polluting your mind 
with too many similar but subtly different programs (like I do), I 
suggest you assemble a tool-chain that is portable to any platform and 
stick to it (by porting it to any machine where they aren't already 
available).  In this case, just get GNU Make and build it on AIX, and 
never look back.
