That's because the files aren't owned by you. Perhaps you downloaded the brltty
source as root. Rather than granting everyone full permissions to the files, I
think it'd be much better to use the chown command so make the files be owned
by you. Better yet, which I think you'll need to do anyway (see below), you
should do the git checkout as yourself.

>brlapi_constants.h

Your brlapi_constants.h is nearly empty. It should be much larger - mine has a
little over 400 lines in it. This looks very similar to a problem that was
reported, here, about a week ago. The problem was that some of the awk scripts
that building brltty uses were compatible with gawk but not with mawk. What
does the AWK = line in config.mk say?

This problem has now been fixed. Please, therefore, get the latest brltty
development source and give it another try.
