Zhangsn,

I have seen this error message lots of times when trying to compile 
build-root on RHE 3.0 it turns out that the make program you are using 
is too old to work with build-root you need at least 3.80 your version 
is returned as 'GNU make version '3.79.1,'
This appears to me not to be a bug.
