have downloaded and build my self the version GNU Make 3.82, and I got
exactly the same error:

Makefile:23: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.
Kernel 2.6.33.7 make failed

That is the line 23 in kernel build directory (not in the source):
    $(all) %/: all

It depends on the parameter given to make, that this makefile tries to
expand or what ever from command line from MAKECMDGOALS.

this commands fails:
    cd /home/ce/colinux-devel/build/linux-2.6.33.7-source
    make O=../linux-2.6.33.7-build oldconfig
    cd ../linux-2.6.33.7-build
    make vmlinux

This works:
    cd /home/ce/colinux-devel/build/linux-2.6.33.7-source
    make O=../linux-2.6.33.7-build oldconfig
    cd ../linux-2.6.33.7-build
    make

The different is the parameter "vmlinux", and later maybe modules and
modules_install.
The simplest way for you would be to downgrade to make version 3.81, or
build make 3.81 self and copy it into your $HOME/bin.

I have also tested a plain unpatched Linux kernel 2.6.33.9, and this got
the same error.
Have created a bug report for make:
