I vaguely remember that this is the error message you get when your 
version of gnu make is too old. ffmpeg requires 3.81 or later.

In the past, this workaround worked:

make V=1

but I have no idea if it is still effective with current git. You'll 
save yourself a bunch of development pain by getting the more capable 
version of make.
