That is very strange.  Perhaps running:

   make -n test > test.out 2>&1

then look at the test.out file to see why lines like:

Do not seem to be run by your installation of IBM make.
You do have the startup.mk file properly installed don't you?
Note that there more be one in /samples and it must be copied to /etc
to have make work correctly.
