Conditional Compile in Solaris/Linux (makefiles)

Tags: conditional, makefile, solaris, linux
Is it possible to do a condition compile in unix/linux using a makefile.  I wrote a server and a client and need to compile the server selectively based on which OS the makefile is run.  

i.e.  If the makefile is run on a linux i need to compile
gcc server_linux.c -o server
if the makefile is run on unix i need to compile
gcc server_solaris.c -lsocket -lnsl -o server

i know you can use uname to find the OS name.  How could i create a makefile to do all this? Thanks!
