This is the wrong mailing list for these kinds of problems, unless you
have a patch to propose.

Your bug report is far too light on details to be useful.  FFmpeg needs
GNU Make 3.81 to function properly.  You might have an older version.
Looking at the package list for OpenBSD 4.3 this does indeed seem to be
the case.
