<h2 class="chapter">Conditional Parts of Makefiles</h2>

   <p>A <dfn>conditional</dfn> causes part of a makefile to be obeyed or ignored
depending on the values of variables.  Conditionals can compare the
value of one variable to another, or the value of a variable to
a constant string.  Conditionals control what <code>make</code> actually
"sees" in the makefile, so they <em>cannot</em> be used to control shell
commands at the time of execution.
