Hey so here is what I found out about the error and solved it, it was
actually making this error because the folder named 'cp' exists, as soon
as I renamed the folder 'cp' to something else, the build got working
again.
Very weird issue, if anyone has an idea why it happened, my shell being
used is ZSH.
I was able to reproduce your error with:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin/asdf
echo -e 'all:\n\tasdf' > Makefile
make
I have gnu make 4.3 .
This could be considered a bug with gnu make, trying to execute directories. Ideally it would be reported to them and a fix contributed. It is likely very easy to fix.
Kind regards,
Lahfa Samy
