There isn't enough info for me to figure out the problem -- though I
don't have the same kind of system.  Looks like you're using GNU make,
which is important, though it's possible you need a more recent
version.

See the FAQ on reporting bugs.  In particular, a lot more than just a
snippet of the build output is needed.  A snippet like that is to
figuring out the source of the problem as a sample of blood from a
shower drain is to determining the identity of a murderer -- in rare
cases, it might be enough, but having access to the whole crime scene
usually works better.  :)
