'TypeError: (intermediate value) is not a function' when compiling

Start by reproducing emmake make with the reported Emscripten 1.37.28 and CoffeeScript 2.1.1 versions, then inspect the command at Makefile:24 and the UglifyJS parse error. Done means the compilation completes without the TypeError or optimizer assertion.

When I compile via emmake make I get the following error:

emcc --memory-init-file 0 -O3 -s INLINING_LIMIT=50 -s RESERVED_FUNCTION_POINTERS=64 -s EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS=@exported_functions -s EXTRA_EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS=@exported_runtime_methods c/extension-functions.bc c/sqlite3.bc --post-js js/api.js -o js/sql-optimized-raw.js ;\
