Microsoft's Make is notorious for having used an inverted makefile that is
incompatible with un*x-like makes.  If I remember correctly, you simply need
to invert all targets in the makefile.  This may be an oversimplification;-}

Recommendations:
1) Figure out whose makefile you are using (Microsoft's, or a un*x-like make).
2) Use an appropriate make.

Sorry, I don't have any suggestions about the fatal internal error without
seeing the line that broke it...
