What's $$comp?  Do you mean $$i here?

Is that the exact error message you get, letter for letter?  GNU make won't
print out anything like "Syntax error"; no such message exists in the code.
That means it's not GNU make that's printing this message.

When asking for help please be sure to include EXACTLY the command you
entered and the messages you received, especially error messages.  By far
the best way is to cut and paste them into your email to avoid
transcription errors.
