Makefile:1248: *** missing separator. Stop.

[Manuel Uberti]

Hello everyone,

I just pulled from master (commit: 579d7c20da5406575e087e4e8cb0a5621d28037b), 
and I am getting the error in the subject when I do 'make' or 'make bootstrap -j16'.

Running 'git status' tells me I have not changed anything locally wrt Emacs sources.

Which Makefile is that? in what directory?

If you cannot figure it out, please post the log of the entire build.

Thank you for the tip. I ran 'git clean -xfd' before building again, and I was 
able to compile everything just fine.
