Please see attached makefiles. As provided, they should work correctly as
follows:

cmd: make -fmakefile.start
makefile.start:1: including makefile.start ver 4.4.1 goals
makefile.blah:2: blah = 1 goals:
makefile.blah:6: begin blah pass
makefile.blah:30: end of blah
makefile.start:10: end of start
echo "target help"
target help

However, if you uncomment makefile.blah, line 15, make sees the else statement
in the 'junk' recipe as part of the conditional. This is odd as that line is
simply a $(warning ...) logging call.

These were complex makefile which worked find until the $(warning ...) call
was inserted ahead of the else statement. I simplified them as much as
possible and still reproduce the error.

This happens with make-4.4.1 build on aix:

cmd: make --version
GNU Make 4.4.1
Built for powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.5.0
Copyright (C) 1988-2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later

This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it.
There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

My workaround is to comment out the particular $(warning ...) call.

Thank you for any assistance!
