When building from this repository, I have no issue with the
compilation.

My guess is that you are trying to build from a tarball generated with
'make dist'.  If my guess is correct, then the issue is that
'src/bzr.mk' is not distributed.  As described in the manual [1], 'DATA'
files are not distributed by default. so you need to prepend 'dist_' to
'bzrmk_DATA'.

HTH,
