make install calls make install.modules, which has various problems (it looks
like MODULE is misspelled MONULE, but I don't know if that's intentional or
not.) - it does a "for dir in $(MODULE_DIRS); do", but that variable is empty,
and so sh gets pouty.
I'd suggest either removing install.modules from the make install line, or else
putting it at the end of the install: line.

Isn't that $(MONULE_DIRS)? sh should do nothing in for dir in ; do ... done.
What system do you use? It seems that you /bin/sh is buggy.

A lot of sh's don't like it. I've always avoided doing that in
Makefile scripts, including the ones I've been writing for zsh. There
are two usual workarounds:
list='$(POSSIBLY_EMPTY_VARIABLE)'
for foo in $list; do
...
done
for foo in .. $(POSSIBLY_EMPTY_VARIABLE); do
if $foo != ..; then
...
fi
done
