It means that there must be either a leading tab or semicolon on any
line that is intended to be executed. For example
target: x y
<tab>cc -O x.c y.c -o z
will work, while
target: x y
cc -O x.c y.c -o z
won't, and will produce that relatively cryptic error message. Just
check for action lines (actually shell command lines) that do not begin
with tabs or semicolons.
