No. Here's a primitive example:

OS_TYPE := $(shell uname -s)

ifneq (,$(findstring MINGW,$(OS_TYPE)))
BUILD_TARGET = WINDOWS
endif

This would set $BUILD_TARGET to WINDOWS if you were running make from a
Windows OS using MinGW.

This won't work though if you are attempting to build from a Windows
command prompt. There is no "uname" command in Windows by default unless
you put the MinGW tools in your %PATH% (not done by default).
