Looks like the managed makefile is using commands for gmake that aren't supported by the version of gmake released with CCSV6.
Within the automatically generated subdir_rules.mk I have found the following command
configPkg/compiler.opt: | configPkg/linker.cmd
configPkg/: | configPkg/linker.cmd
According to this discussion this didn't come in till gmake 3.80 but the gmake distributed as default in ccsV6 is 3.78
I couldn't find gmake3.80 so used 3.81 and my error disappears.
Problem is if I try to compile my msp430 project with gmake 3.81 it fails

gmake 3.78 works with the msp430 build.
Which version of gmake should be distributed and used with CCSV6
