(Just to be clear, it's GNU make versions 3.80, 3.81, and 3.82)

Unfortunately I don't have access to an AIX system and there isn't
enough information here for me to guess what might be wrong.  The fact
that no one else has reported such a fundamental problem, and that
you're seeing it across three different versions of GNU make, causes me
to suspect it's something unique about your situation.

So, I'll need you to do some investigation.

The [1] in this message shows that this is a recursive make.  What is
the exact make command that is being invoked?  Please show some context
(the lines before the error) and not just the message itself.

Perhaps the make command is changing to an incorrect directory, where
there is no makefile?
