Looks like your make program outputs terminal sequences to e.g. display
colors? Try explicitly setting your terminal to somthing dumb for make.
It shouldn't then output those chars:
TERM=vt100 make ...

Your pattern doesn't look right btw. I think what you want to search for
is :%s/^[^/]*//

Your pattern ^*\/ is actually looking for line start followed by a '*'
followed by a slash, which is obviously not what you need.
