Got it to work! The problem was actually in compiling lib/makepath.c. I
manually compiled it adding the -DHAVE_ERRNO_H definition argument as
below. 

cd /usr/src/paxutils-2.4h/lib

gcc -DHAVE_ERRNO_H -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I. -g -O2 -c
makepath.c 


Next I relinked the entire package and got a valid pax.exe which I
subsequently moved to /usr/local/bin and that was it. 

cd /usr/src/paxutils-2.4h
make
mv src/pax.exe /usr/local/bin/

I don't understand the Makefile's well enough to automate this but if
anyone else wants to give it a shot, have at it. --
