It looks like the Makefile that comes with rmail-mime is buggy: a command-line argument that is quoted with single quotes '..' cannot be split between two lines like that, because the shell will retain the newline, and Emacs will see bad Lisp. Latest version of GNU Make make a point of passing such commands to the shell without removing the newline, so such bugs started popping up. A simple work-around is to edit the Makefile so that the '..'-quoted argument, the one which starts with ``'(setq'', is on a single line.
