Like I've said before, you have to use /usr/bin/make instead of GNU's
make. How do I know you're using GNU make? With the standard BSD make,
your error message will look like:

    "Makefile", line 1: Need an operator
    make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

GNU make gives a:

    Makefile:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.

The kernel build system *requires* that you use the base system's
make(1) utility and not some 3rd party import.
