echo: InvalidYaml (Just (YamlException "Yaml file not found: Directories"))

Resolved by commenting out lisp/Makefile:181

@echo Directories for loaddefs: ${SUBDIRS_ALMOST}

Second error:

make[2]: Leaving directory '/media/data/src/emacs/emacs/admin/grammars'
echo: InvalidYaml (Just (YamlParseException {yamlProblem = "control characters are not allowed", yamlContext = "", yamlProblemMark = YamlMark {yamlIndex = 0, yamlLine = 0, yamlColumn = 0}}))
