I'm not sure if this is your problem, but check all SRCS and OBJS definitions
in the Imakefiles, and make sure there is *no* space after the backslashes
in the line-continuations. Any characters after the line-continuation leads
to an invalid Makefile. This is a nasty problem because it's so difficult to
spot.
