That doesn't quite work either.  Now I get:

        bash-2.02$ make
        make  all-recursive
        Making all in lib
        "Makefile", line 192: Need an operator
        Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
        *** Error code 1
        
        Stop.

lib/Makefile:192 is the last line of:

        DEP_FILES =  # $(DEPDIR)/argmatch.Po $(DEPDIR)/dup2.Po \
        $(DEPDIR)/fncase.Po $(DEPDIR)/fnmatch.Po $(DEPDIR)/ftruncate.Po \
        $(DEPDIR)/getdate.Po $(DEPDIR)/getline.Po $(DEPDIR)/getopt.Po \
        $(DEPDIR)/getopt1.Po $(DEPDIR)/hostname.Po $(DEPDIR)/md5.Po \
        $(DEPDIR)/memmove.Po $(DEPDIR)/mkdir.Po $(DEPDIR)/regex.Po \
        $(DEPDIR)/rename.Po $(DEPDIR)/savecwd.Po $(DEPDIR)/sighandle.Po \
        $(DEPDIR)/strerror.Po $(DEPDIR)/stripslash.Po $(DEPDIR)/strstr.Po \
        $(DEPDIR)/strtoul.Po $(DEPDIR)/valloc.Po $(DEPDIR)/waitpid.Po \
        $(DEPDIR)/xgetwd.Po $(DEPDIR)/yesno.Po

I'm guessing that you can't continue a comment like that.
