So, you're trying to build a source package.

The command line received the following arguments:

‘/usr/bin/make’ ‘PREFIX’ ‘=’ ‘/usr’ ‘clean’

If you want to set a variable, you need that as a single argument:

$(MAKE) PREFIX=/usr clean

which will result in command-line arguments as:

‘/usr/bin/make’ ‘PREFIX=/usr’ ‘clean’

Then make will see a single argument setting a variable to a value.
