What the problem could be?

About 9 months late to the party, but I ran into this exact problem, without a solution.

It looks like a bug in the Makefile maybe? Not really sure, I didn't try to debug it.

But you can compile it by hand without the Makefile, and it appears to go OK. Doing the below allowed me to compile and install the firmware successfully, or it appears to be successful:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/BastilleResearch/mousejack
cd mousejack/
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd nrf-research-firmware

# DON'T use Makefile to completion, it's broken.
