It means someone or something deleted this file, while make was running. Maybe there's something in that build system that deletes the contents of temporary directories? Perhaps we need a way to allow the user to choose a separate temporary directory, other than TMPDIR, to put make's temporary files, for systems which are changing and cleaning TMPDIR as part of their build process.
