And on mine too, if I do a "make veryclean" first.  The problem is that things 
like $(PARSEROM) show up in the dependency lists for some targets; since 
PARSEROM is defined as "$(PERL) ./util/parserom.pl", this means that there is 
now an unsatisfiable dependency upon the non-existent target "perl".  
(Previously there would have been a spurious but harmless dependency upon 
/usr/bin/perl, which at least exists.)
