errors building rcs 5.9.4 on linux x86_64 using gcc 8.2.0 and gmake

[Deborah Wescott, Ctr]

Forgive the limited info. Please tell me what else you require from me.

The following results in multiple errors:

   ./configure --prefix=/p/app/cvs-rcs/rcs/5.9.4

   gmake

The errors revolve around the src/b-anchor.c, base.h, and string.h files 
and are multitudinous. I've attached the output of a make command. (Is 
there a preferred method of attaching the output from my make command?)

Here is an example of where they start, then there are thousands of 
lines before it finally gives up and exits. I will post the last few 
lines of errors:

any assistance you can provide.
