There used to be ${OPSYS} support for patches, keyed on a patches-${OPSYS}
directory, IIRC. We found that it was almost never used, and dispensed
with it.

Thomas gives a very good workaround above - I've also used one, depending
which make(1) program is being used, to do the equivalent of:

OPSYS!= uname -s

.if ${OPSYS} == "SunOS"
LIBS= -lsocket -lnsl
.elif ${OPSYS} == ...
.endif

in the relevant Makefile.
