Error in cleaning an NRF5 SDK 11 sketch: "make: *** ../../../../../../components/toolchain/gcc: Is a directory. Stop."

Hello,

I am currently writing firmware using NRF52 SDK 11.0 (there are plans to port to SDK 15 eventually, but for now I need to get it running with 11) on Ubuntu 18.04. After running "make clean" the console outputs "make: *** ../../../../../../components/toolchain/gcc: Is a directory.  Stop." I've never seen make fail in this way before.

I have the GCC ARM tools and the path variable is pointing to them. I did also just pull the firmware from a git repo. Is there anything in particular that would cause this failure?

I ended up just using the template file and that mostly worked. I still can't flash the sketch but I can now do everything before that step.
