You're looking in the wrong place. You need an _automake_ conditional,
here, not a Make conditional. And automake only supports 'if', not
'ifdef'. Make operators 'ifdef' and 'ifeq' are GNU extensions which
automake doesn't use, in order to stay portable to non-GNU makes.

I.e. you can't use GNU make conditionals in a Makefile.am, I think.
