You were lucky :)

Try one of these.  Replace the <TAB>s with real tab characters.  Both
of these approaches will work equally well.  For some reason, I always
tend to use the $(if) function rather than the ifeq construct but
different strokes for different folks.

osver := $(shell uname -r)

.PHONY: test
test:
                <TAB>$(if $(filter $(osver),2.6.15-1.2054_FC5), \
  echo unzip ksh.zip, \
  echo unzip ksh2.zip \
 )

.PHONY:test2
ifeq ($(osver),2.6.15-1.2054_FC5)
test2:
<TAB>echo unzip ksh.zip
else
test2:
<TAB>echo unzip ksh2.zip
endif
