Error -1 means that the last command invoked by Make failed for some 
reason, usually it means that either you called a program that doesn't 
exist on your PATH, or that the command line has a syntax error.

That is most probably the cause.  Get the latest Make 3.75 (mak375b.zip), 
since you obviously need to pass long command lines in that makefile (the 
list of the object files to put into the library is *very* long).  Older 
ports of Make are incompatible in this aspect with the rest of DJGPP v2.01.
