[fetchmail] compiling fetchmail 5.9.13 under Solaris 8: fails intl direc

Dear fetchmail-friends,
 
I'm trying to compile fetchmail 5.9.13 (I'm actually upgrading from v5.9.6)
on Solaris 8.  The version of gcc that I'm using is 2.95.2.
 
I've run the configure command as
 
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-ssl=/usr/local
 
and I've tried it both with and without the --with-included-gettext (without
success).
 
When I run the make, I get
 

$ make
expect conflicts:  2 shift/reduce
bison -y -d  ./rcfile_y.y
conflicts:  2 shift/reduce
mv y.tab.c rcfile_y.c
mv -f y.tab.h rcfile_y.h
cd . # && autoheader
echo timestamp> ./stamp-h.in

-I./intl -I./intl -I/usr/local/include - /usr/local/include/openssl -O
rcfile_y.c
flex  ./rcfile_l.l
sed <lex.yy.c >rcfile_l.c -e "/lex\\.yy\\.c/s//rcfile_l.c/"
rm -f lex.yy.c
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local//share/locale\" -c  -I. -I.

cd intl; make
make[1]: Entering directory `/export/home/bmohler/src/fetchmail-5.9.13/intl'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/bmohler/src/fetchmail-5.9.13/intl'
make: *** [(_at_)INTLDEPS@] Error 2
$ 

I thought that perhaps it might be confusion of the Solaris versions msgfmt
and xgettext, so I renamed the Solaris binaries so that the configure script
would find the GNU versions in /usr/local/bin.  This did not help.
 
Any suggestions on how I could compile the current stable version of
fetchmail?  [I rely on fetchmail hourly to pull my mail down to my Sun
workstation at home.]
 
Thanks, in advance.
 
Bruce
