That gives you the internal database which the make command uses. Under NT 4, "os" is set by the internal make database to Windows_NT...I don't have Win95 or Win98, so am not sure what the value of OS would be, though I might hypothesize that it is something like Windows_95, etc. So, I would think that a make command sequence that goes something like ifeq ($(OS),Windows_NT) endif ifeq($(OS),Windows_95) endif Such a command sequence would be perfectly capable of determining what platform OS is being used and what needs to be defined or included depending on the platform OS being used.
