 Description   

Given a simple build configuration:

./configure --enable-{agent,server,proxy} --with-postgresql --with-openssl --prefix=/usr

the build fails due to the Makefile expanding to an invalid BSD make fragment:

*** Prase error in /home/jxl/zabbix: Need an operator in 'tsdb_history_pk_upgrade_with_compression' (Makefile:1025)
*** Prase error: Need an operator in 'tsdb_history_pk_upgrade_no_compression' (Makefile:1026)

When adding primary key generating scripts in 0fa10834, two directories were added for storing the generated SQL snippets.

This appears to be intended to set variables for the shell snippets installing the files, but that's not what really happens.

This is immediately reproducible on OpenBSD 7.2, or a bmake or non gnu-compliant make that won't let these constructs hang.
