It shouldn't be doing that! It should be using cgi-wrapper.c to build all the CGI binaries. The common.c -> common.o compilation step should happen first and should have macros that define things like PREFIX and PYTHON. e.g. on my system:
gcc -c -I. -DPREFIX="\"/export/home/mailman\"" -DPYTHON="\"/depot/sundry/plat/bin/python\"" -g -O2 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYSLOG_H=1 -DGETGROUPS_T=gid_t -DHAVE_VPRINTF=1 common.c gcc -DSCRIPT="\"admin\"" -I. -DCGI_GID=60001 -g -O2 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYSLOG_H=1 -DGETGROUPS_T=gid_t -DHAVE_VPRINTF=1 common.o -o admin cgi-wrapper.c
What version of make are you running? It's possible I've got something incompatible in src/Makefile with your default make. I only have GNU make and Solaris make to test with, and the build process should complete successfully with both of those.
Try making sure you're building with GNU make instead of whatever make you're using by default.
If this really is the problem, we'll have to add a note to the installation instructions. Or if you can figure out the fix to Makefile.in and send us a patch, that would be best!
