The above is a kernel Makefile, which one i dont know, its not the TOPdir
Makefile, now that indicates that you are doing something wrong, to make a
kernel you need to be in /usr/src/linux, not knowing which kernel version
you are trying to make i can check nothing, futher more the missing
seperator means there is no white space or tab after a command in the
Makefile concerned.
Now all kernel versions i have compiled over the years have never had any
problem like that, so you possably have edited that file and damged it, why
not delete the whole kernel source tree and reinstall a fresh copy.
