make on Debian 9.2 failing

Hello,

I am on
   Debian 9.2, uname -a: Linux pwx 4.9.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.51-1 
(2017-09-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux

and I have just done a

   cvs update -C
   make

which fails with the below copied error command/error message (PS1).

Does this have to do something with the "Ubuntu facepalm" remark in the 
Makefile?

Find also all "stackgap" compiler commands/output below for reference (PS2).

Best Regards,

   Georg
