Build uClinux kernel puzzle

I unpack and patch the sources as per http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating...ems/uclinuxdist (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/uclinuxdist)

When I come to the vendor hwselect I get a strange error http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif

[beham@localhost uClinux-dist]make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=~/tPadNG/altera_nios_dev_board_cyclone_2c35.ptf

make ARCH=nios2nommu CROSS_COMPILE=nios2-linux-uclibc- -C vendors vendor_hwselect

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/beham/uClinux-dist/vendors&#39;

/home/beham/uClinux-dist/config.arch:108: *** commands commence before first target. Stop.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/beham/uClinux-dist/vendors&#39;

make: *** [vendor_hwselect] Error 2

I run FC6 and have installed gcc nios crosscompiler from the wiki page.

Anyone got an idea to share on how to sort this one out??
