The easy thing to do would be to remove that line (or comment it out,
remember for m4 it's "dnl") and then try the rebuild.  If it works,
then it's that line.

It could also be a permissions problem.  For debugging only, you could
try opening permissions on those files and that directory.  If that
"fixes" the issue, then you know that it's permission-related, and you
can focus on that.

It's not "css", it's "ccs".  Try with the correct path and see if it's
present.
