It's a bug in make(1) -- or rather it *was* a bug in make, which has
been fixed in up-to-date versions of FreeBSD.  Your system is old
enough that it still has the bug, and consequently falls over on
perfectly legitimate code that was written since.  Upgrade to
5.2.1-RELEASE or to 4.9-RELEASE or 4.10-BETA or edit bsd.java.mk to
add a space between the version numbers and the following bracket on
the affected lines.  More details in:
