Thanks for the report.  It would be much more useful if you included the
Makefile, not the Makefile.in, since make is actually using the
Makefile.

I cannot reproduce your problem on my system: I don't get a syntax error
when I massage the Makefile.in you included.

If you run "make clean" do you get the same error?

If so, please run "make -n clean" and cut and paste that as well (or
redirect to a file and attach it to the email).  I'd like to see exactly
what the shell invocation looks like that gets an error.
