In your situation it almost certainly means you have a rule in your
makefile that contains two colon, like:
foo : bar : baz
That's illegal syntax... and they don't have to be space-separated; this
is also illegal:
foo: bar:baz

The Imakefile is useless. Make can't parse Imakefiles. They are run
through the C preprocessor (!) and a "normal" makefile is created.
_That_ is the makefile that make processes, the one that's giving the
error, and the one you have to look at to see what's wrong.
