You indeed need to have something in that for statement---empty argument
list after `in' is not legal shell syntax.  As to finding the problem,
the script seems to be coming from a makefile in which the `stamp-wrap'
target is being built.  If multiple subdirectories are involved, try
using the `--print-directories' option to make to see which subdirectory
the makefile is in.  Then start looking for lines starting with
`stamp-wrap:' in that makefile to see what make is trying to do.
