Well it finally works thanks to Gary Keim <gk5g+@andrew.cmu.edu>.

Here is an extract from his message:

Here is my advice:  (1) rm -rf /sunsrc/andrew_dir/{*,.*}; (2) make Clean
in the andrew top-level; (3) chown cameron /sunsrc/andrew_dir; (3) exit
from root; (4) start the whole build process from scratch.

I was building Andrew on an RS/6000 yesterday and this problem was
happening to me.  It turned out to be that the cpp didn't define  the
proper symbolic for that platform.  Things break in wonderous ways
beyond our comprehension.

I have done this and it has succeeded so far (except the machine ran
out of processes but this is a minor detail).
