Please read the installation information.

You're running into this problem because you're not using GNU make.  As stated
in the installation instructions we _highly_ recommend building in a separate
directory from the sources and using GNU make.

Probably the same makefile bugs we fixed for the HPs.  Using GNU make should
solve this problem.
