Seems like something goes terribly wrong when these lines are
generated, because $(PM_TO_BLIB) and the line after it seems to be
wrong (what's that lone "<<" on line 732 supposed to do, anyway?).

You will have to dig deeper into how this part is generated, to find
what the culprit is.  If you cannot figure it out, try asking someone
who can run this on Unix for what should those lines look like, or
post here a detailed description of how this fragment is generated and
from what text.
