Complex problem, but simple solution.  The make.exe that is being run on
those two computers is not the DJGPP Make, but the Make from some other
compiler, like Borland.  In fact, it's pretty obvious that that's the
case from the capture you posted.

Borland's Make will not work with GNU makefiles, nor is it compatible
with DJGPP applications.  You must install the GNU Make package
(v2gnu/mak3761b.zip) and put the DJGPP 'bin' directory before the
Borland 'bin' directory in your PATH.  The suggested PATH setup in
'readme.1st' accomplishes this by default.
