title: bin/bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `;;'
body: <p>I am trying to setup android environment for the android source build. I think the make version on the system was causing problems with the android build. I am now trying to install make from the sources I downloaded from <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/" rel="nofollow">http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/</a> .
  I frist configure it then run make which gives me this error. Been trying to debug this by changing things in the error line.</p>
  
  <pre><code>root@hali-desktop:/home/hali/Downloads/make-3.81# make
  /bin/bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `;;'
  /bin/bash: -c: line 0: `if test ! -f config.h; then  rm -f stamp-h1;  make stamph1;;      
  else :; fi'
  make: *** [config.h] Error 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the Makefile in the code that I am trying to compile.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    config.h: stamp-h1
      @if test ! -f $@; then \
        rm -f stamp-h1; \
        $(MAKE) stamp-h1; \
      else :; fi
  </code></pre>
