If a backslash appears just before a newline, both will be ignored. This is a very nice, but it also means your ifeq statement doesn't start at the beginning of a line, and it is therefore not parsed by make. As you can see from the error message, it's sh, not make, which is complaining about not understanding the ifeq, which makes sense. The other suggestion to set STRIP to true is probably a nice solution for your problem. If you really want to use ifeq, you'll need to put the entire logical line in it (the whole block, until the line without a \ at the end), and use an else with the same block plus the STRIP line.
