I think the problem may be here

#OBJTYPE=386            # target system object type (eg, 386, arm, mips,
power, s800, sparc)
OBJTYPE=$objtype

#
#    no changes required beyond this point
#
OBJDIR=$SYSTARG/$OBJTYPE

there is no objtype or $objtype so OBJTYPE is null.

At any rate, I just typed in '386' where is says $objtype, and it worked.
