Which doesn't understand them.

So use shell's own 'if' (not tested)

        xxx:
                ( \
                        echo a; \
                        if [ "$(PRINT_B)" = YES ]; then \
                             echo b; \
                        fi; \
                        echo c; \
                ) > xxx
