When attempting to emerge NSS on Gentoo Linux with a build of Make compiled
from the latest commit, I discovered that compilation was unable to begin due
to an error in Make. This issue doesn't occur with Make 4.4.1 installed.

I looked at the source code of the NSS, and managed to create a minimal
reproduction of the issue, which I have attached.

On 4.4.1, using this Makefile simply prints "This works" to the console, but
on the latest commit it produces the following error:

```
Makefile:11: *** missing 'endif'.  Stop.
```

This is the Gentoo issue tracker thread which lead to this issue being
created: https://bugs.gentoo.org/956806
