Because I can byte compile it manually, in dired via Shift-B!
That I consider as bizarre, byte compiling works, but via make it does
not.

I don't understand:

(defun my-test-if ()
  (interactive)
  (if (featurep 'xemacs)
      (message "Xemacs")
    (message "GNUS")))


when executed in Xemacs returns Xemacs, when executed in GNU emacs returns
GNUS.

In any case I removed the ifs leaving 

(define-obsolete-variable-alias 'org-agenda-menu-two-column
 'org-agenda-menu-two-columns)

And again make failed with the same error message!
