Last time I found out with same issue, it looks a dependency problem..instead of weird bad compilation

$ wget http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_R15B01.tar.gz

I have similar issue. I don't remember the exact error, but something like this:

Compile failed while processing /home/user/Documents/ejabberd/ejabberd-14.07/deps/goldrush/ rebar_abort

I had the error while running 'make' command. But, I realized it's a permission issue.

So, I resolved the issue with running sudo make:
$ sudo make

Not sure if might be of help but I run into the same problem today and I was missing erlang-parsetools. Once installed, the compilation succeeded without needing to modify anything in the source.
