eh.
There is something really going wrong. How are you calling make?

$ svngrep basename target/ -r 2> /dev/null
target/makedevs/makedevs.c:	bb_applet_name = basename(argv[0]);
target/device/Atmel/at91bootstrap/at91bootstrap-2.3.1.patch: #	cd .. ; tar -cvf `basename $$(TOPDIR)`.tar `basename $$(TOPDIR)` ; bzip2 `basename $$(TOPDIR)`.tar )
target/device/Atmel/at91bootstrap/at91bootstrap-2.3.1.patch:-PACKAGE=`basename ${TOPDIR}`
target/device/Sharp/LNode80/kernel-patches/001-patch-2.4.26-vrs1:+int-y := $(sort $(foreach m, $(multi-y), $($(basename $(m))-objs)))
target/device/Sharp/LNode80/kernel-patches/001-patch-2.4.26-vrs1:+int-m := $(sort $(foreach m, $(multi-m), $($(basename $(m))-objs)))

I'd rule out makedevs.c and probably the Sharp stuff. I'd just recommend
to glance at 'info make' to the one who wrote the other hunks.
Where does that basename call you show above come from?
