This is the problem. There is a Permission problem somewhere.
But after looking a little more closer I found this:
config/gen/makefiles.pl:
genfile('config/gen/makefiles/imcc.in', 'languages/imcc/Makefile',
commentType => '#');
system("$^X -pi -e's/ -Wwrite-strings//' languages/imcc/Makefile");
system("$^X -pi -e's/ -Wcast-qual//' languages/imcc/Makefile");
system("$^X -pi -e's/ -Wno-unused/ -Wunused/' languages/imcc/Makefile");
imcc is the only Makefile which does these kind of inplace
changes. This perl -pi seems to fail in your case and only deletes the
newly generated Makefile. As these are only warning fixes just comment
out these 3 system lines.
Why is this Makefile hackery so deeply hidden in the config tree?
