What seems like the most likely bet here is that make has inherited the
setting for SUBDIRS in src/Makefile into the child run in src/timezone/,
and so it's looking for a subdirectory "common" which of course ain't
there. Why this would not have happened within the previous two
subdirectories isn't real clear, but in any case that would be a bug
in "make".
What make version are you using? Can you try another one? If you're
trying a parallel build, maybe don't do that.
