I'm not sure what the problem could be. That error message "missing separator" often occurs when there is a spacing problem in a makefile. Believe it or not, it makes a difference if one uses tabs or spaces (tabs are required) in indenting. However, I think it's not likely that you changed any of the makefiles. Or did you?
What type of system are you running on? (Solaris, Linux, ?) I'll try and recreate if I can.
