A line starting with a tab is only interpreted as part of a recipe if
the previous non-comment line was either a rule or another recipe
line. If the previous line was an include, a variable assignment, a
vpath setting, etc then the previous recipe is closed and you can't
add another recipe line to it.
Of course, if you had actually quoted the relevant lines from your
Makefile, we could be more precise.
