description:
make(1): fix unexpected behavior in ::= variable modifier

Previously, the ::= modifier had returned an error value, which caused
the variable expression to be preserved.  This behavior was not useful
in this case; it had only been intended to be used for undefined
variables.

To fix it, distinguish between parse errors, undefined variables and
regular empty strings.
