What has happened is that your $AIPS_ROOT/HOST.LIST file apparently 
defines your host as LINUX not LNX64.  MAKE.BMNJ has a message that 
suggests that it did not find $SYSLOCAL properly and called it

/home/software/aips/31DEC09/LINUX/UPDATE
/home/software/aips/31DEC09/LINUX/SYSTEM/UPDCONFIG

Looking at that code, it inherits this mis-information
     system("sh -c '. $AIPS_ROOT/LOGIN.SH; \$CDTST; $target'");

where $target is MAKE.BMNJ.  The bad information in your HOSTS.LIST file 
accessed by the LOGIN.SH over-rode the good information known inside 
install.pl and caused this failure.  Probably install.pl should detect 
that this a re-install and insist that the installer confirm the 
contents of HOSTS.LIST.  People do seem to have a habit of forgetting 
their site name and, now, changing the architecture without adjusting 
that file.
