I can duplicate the above error message by replacing the leading
tab on line 40 of this Makefile with a space, or spaces - you may
have a corrupted Makefile.  Make should report 'must be separator...'
or 'syntax error...'; apparently the Minix version doesn't.  Try
checking there are tabs, not spaces, at the start of all command
lines around line 40. 
 
Good luck - Will
