I found the stupid mistake. I copy the entire directory and forget to modify the Makefile inside. just rename the $(ORIG_BOARD).c to $(NEW_BOARD).c since there is a line in Makefile: OBJS = $(BOARD).o. There is no mercury.c so make is unhappy. However the make give me confusing messages. Hope this mail be helpful to other newbies.
