Hmm, this test:
-------------
HAVE_EVAL := NO
$(eval HAVE_EVAL := YES)

ifeq "$(HAVE_EVAL)" "NO"
$(error Your make does not support eval. You need GNU make >= 3.80)
endif
-------------
in testsuite/mk/boilerplate.mk is supposed to fail if running the
testsuite would fail, so I don't know what's gone wrong there. If you
work out what else is breaking then let me know and we can add a test
for it.


Thanks
