Hello,

upstream has fixed this in a BSD-make compatible way
https://github.com/ThomasDickey/lynx-snapshots/commit/f100e91840bc2ef2cecf3d0975b734e53637fa55 (stripped patch attached for reference)

So it will be part of the next upstream release. For Debian I think we
will temporarily use the one-line GNU-make-only fix.
