Your makefile (not the findutils makefile) appears to have
an error.
 in
the sense you are using it is a directive to Make
(indicating
that the command should not be echoed before it is run), so
if you
need to use it, it should occur at the beginning of the
command make
is executing.  In your case however, the  appears
in the middle of
the command line that make uses to invoke configure.    You
probably
just misplaced the "".

The README and INSTALL files accompanying the findutils
distribution
explain how to configure and install findutils.
