Post here the lines from Makefile around the line that triggers this 
message.  It is impossible to guess what is the problem without seeing 
the offending lines.

One possibility is that the offending line in the Makefile ends with a 
semi-colon.  If this is the case, simply remove the semi-colon and the 
problem should go away.  (If my guess is correct, it means that nobody 
has revised those DJGPP-specific Makefiles for a long, long time.)

Also, what do you mean "gcc aborts"?  Does it crash?  If so, please post 
the traceback here.  Note that the DJGPP FAQ list has some advice for 
solving cases where the compiler crashes, see chapter 6 in the FAQ.

I'm confused.  The error message you cited comes from Make.  So how come 
you can correct it by changing the sources?
