Modified "@if [ ! -f /Makefile ]; then false; fi" 
to "@if [ ! -f $(DIR_SRC)/$(MAKEDEV)/Makefile ]; then false; fi"
and a make stage2 goes beyond the "if" statement and produces:
chown: bin/*: Operation not permitted. And all files after have
the same ending statement.

Did I make the right modification to the "if" statement and id not
what should it be?

TIA
