Never build a Debian package as root, fakeroot was specifically
developed for this task.  As of dpkg 1.14.7 (released more than a year
ago) you don't have to pass -rfakeroot to dpkg-buildpackage; it is
implied by default.

Also never use -d unless you know what you're doing.

You certainly modified somehow Yann Dirson's package.  The first error
is a GNU make error, when you define a target twice.  The second is
probably because you have added a duplicate entry for the binary
package gcompris.
