On what OS is that?

If that's Windows, you should be able to run Make again, and it should 
pick up where the previous Make left off.  If that doesn't help, close 
the DOS box and open a new one, then try to invoke Make again.

These problems happen because some DPMI servers leak selectors (they 
don't release all of them when a DJGPP program exits).  So after many 
DJGPP programs, there are no more selectors left, and the startup code 
fails.
