Add this line to the beginning of Makefile:

SHELL = /bin/sh

Then download and install these 2 packages from the usual DJGPP sites:

  v2gnu/bsh204b.zip
  v2gnu/fil40b.zip

Then this Makefile should work.

In the future, when this happens, look at the Makefile and try to 
understand what commands don't work.  Then either look on your system for 
those commands, or ask here where to get them.

In this case, the missing command was chmod, which is part of Fileutils.
