Are there actual changes or is it white space ( which cvs shouldn't mangle
)? diff -b will ignore white space changes. Changing tabs to a bunch of
spaces will massively hose Makefiles.
BTW, do the diffs on Makefile.PL. Makefile shouldn't go in cvs.

Google showed that error message on the kernel mailing list and the
following from Documentation/Changes in the 2.4.x tree:
Current Minimal Requirements
o Gnu make 3.77 # make --version
The following is from docs for GNU make Version 3.77:
`missing target pattern. Stop.'
`multiple target patterns. Stop.'
`target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.'
These are generated for malformed static pattern rules. The first means
there's no pattern in the target section of the rule, the second means there
are multiple patterns in the target section, and the third means the target
doesn't contain a pattern character (%).

The top of that explains the %.
