This message means that your claim there really are <Tab>s in your
makefile, almost certainly is wrong. Look at line 5 of proj13.mak.

It might also be easier for you to have RHIDE generate a makefile for
you, to get you started into the art of Makefile writing. RHIDE's
auto-generated makefiles aren't particularly good examples of Makefile
writing, but they should at least work.
