All all of your indents EXACTLY 1 TAB key and NO spaces?  Does EVERY new

P.S.
Because I am anal, mine looks like this:
OBJFILES = comm.o \
        act.comm.o \
        act.create.o \
        act.informative.o \
        act.movement.o \
        act.item.o \
        act.offensive.o \
        act.other.o \
        act.social.o \
        act.wizard.o \
        alias.o \
--->8 snip 8<---
        dg_olc.o \
        dg_misc.o
