The online manual is describing the very latest version of GNU make, which is version 3.82. Your version of GNU make is obviously older than that, which is why some features described in the manual will not work there (BTW, you didn't mention which version you have; this information is always important when asking questions). You should be reading the manual that came with your version of GNU make rather than the online manual, or else just be aware that there may be features described in the online manual that your older version doesn't support (or else switch to using the newest version).
