Compile failure in gnu fileutils

[John Flicker]

Sir:-

I am trying to build gnu  filesutil.  This is my first attempt using, viz. 
building  a GNU package and
I get the following which looks like an error.

The system is Solaris 2.5.1 on Sun Enterprise 2000.

What follows is partial output from the gmake process:
