Has a DEVDIR variable actually been defined?

Consider this simplified test case:

/tmp[0]$cat abhay.make
all:
ifeq ($(DEVDIR),)
        @echo "!!! makhdr ERROR: undefined variable: DEVDIR"
else
        @echo "DEVDIR = $(DEVDIR)"
endif

/tmp[0]$make -f abhay.make
!!! makhdr ERROR: undefined variable: DEVDIR
/tmp[0]$make -f abhay.make DEVDIR=foo
DEVDIR = foo

That's the output I would expect.
