This is the nasty implementation of the .for operator.
It works by duplicating the lines for each argument,
substituting the value, so the above would be evaluate
like this, so that i isn't a real variable:
mytarget:
@echo "shells/zsh"
.if shells/zsh == lang/perl5
@echo "Yep, perl5."
.endif
@echo "lang/perl5"
.if lang/perl5 == lang/perl5
@echo "Yep, perl5."
.endif
After that, the (recently documented) rule requiring the
LHS of the test to be a variable should be applied.
P.S. -arch was a bad choice for mailing this.
