We got similar errors with the same software but under RH5.1.  The error
message is cause by one of the fiels in the util directory failing to
compile and hence the libfaxutil.a library is not created. I can't
remember exactly what the fix is (It's something to do with gcc/egcs not
doing something it should if I remember correctly ...)   It is fixable
by playing with the source.  I'd suggest redirecting the output of make
into a file and checking very carefully for errors.
