make tests which don't work: features/conditionals

[David Baird]

I am running the tests with the latest sources in CVS. My goal is to
enable them to run on Windows XP with and without Cygwin, and then add
some tests specific to those platforms. I found that not all the tests
run, even on Linux. For example, the second test of
features/conditionals fail with a syntax error on:

DEF3 = no
FUNC = $1
ifdef $(call FUNC,DEF)3
  DEF3 = yes
endif

I couldn't even get older versions of GNU Make to work with this
conditional, although the following does work:

DEF3 = no
FUNC = $1
ifneq (,$($(call FUNC,DEF)3))
  DEF3 = yes
endif

Are all the tests of the latest CVS supposed to run on any platform?

Thanks,
David Baird
