Commenting out that line allows make to run.

What is the error? Is there an equivilent command in OpenBSD? The idea is the -include will include config.mak if it exists, otherwise, it ignores the line.

Also, I wonder if:

touch config.mak

causes the make command to function properly?

The error is this: "Makefile", line 51: Need an operator Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue. Touching config.mak doesn't have any affect. It would seem OpenBSD's version of make doesn't understand the -include syntax. I am not familiar with it enough to suggest a solution. Thanks

Here is the solution I have come up with. It works with OpenBSD's make but doesn't look like it works with GNU make.

.if exists(config.make)
        include config.mak
.endif

Of course it should read.

.if exists(config.mak)
        include config.mak
.endif

Does this problem affect other BSD's such as Free and Net?

Yes, the current Makefile also fails under FreeBSD 7/8. I've simply gotten around this by commenting it out.

Also have this on AIX 5.3
