Ok, I've found it now: It's non-GNU-make complaining about GNU Make
syntax :-)
Could you please add this to make.info in the section "Errors Generated by
Make":
'mksh: Fatal error in reader: = missing from replacement macro reference'
This is not an error message from GNU Make but from the native make
which tries to understand GNU Make syntax. Check your path and under
what name GNU Make is installed (probably gmake or gnumake).
Thanks,
