This is almost alwyas due to an error building VM.  The original
broken 5.32 Makefile is to blame no doubt.

This is a new one.  If you see it again in 5.32 let me know.

In the meantime you need to rebuild VM 5.32 from scratch.  Use
the following Makefile.

# This is a shell archive.  Save it in a file, remove anything before
# this line, and then unpack it by entering "sh file".  Note, it may
# create directories; files and directories will be owned by you and
# have default permissions.
#
# This archive contains:
#
#	Makefile
#
echo x - Makefile
sed 's/^X//' >Makefile << 'END-of-Makefile'
