Um, make just printed out a 6-line error message to you. It pretty  
clearly says:

"The environment variable MAKERULES contains backslashes \'s.  This  
can cause shell scripts including ones in this make system to fail in  
strange ways."

Your original problem was that you set MAKERULES to be

opt/tinyos-2.x/support/make/Makerules

rather than

/opt/tinyos-2.x/support/make/Makerules

That is, you used a relative rather than absolute path.
