You're missing an open paren here; it should be:

    ifeq ($(BUILD),DEBUG)
        ...

  so> I have also tried other syntax like the following:

  so> if [ ${BUILD} == DEBUG ] ; then \

No, this is shell syntax.  You can only use that within command scripts
(lines after a rule that start with a TAB) since those are passed to the
shell.  Make doesn't grok shell syntax.
