Wow, Joe this message is huge.  I understand your reasoning for sending 
the whole make process, but you have to remember some users, (not me) have
to pay for their internet and download time, so try to send only the
relevent parts, like the error.  

Anyway, I think your problem is the "unterminated comment" error put out
by the make file.  Check your GENERIC file and make sure you don't have
any comments that aren't terminated.  (ie #comment)

Good luck
