Unable to compile 2.4.0b5 on Solaris 8

Hello:
 
I am unable to compile nntpcache 2.4.0b5 on a Sun E250 running Solaris 8.
 
I am trying to compile with :
 
GCC 2.95.2
GNU Make version 3.79.1
Autoconf 2.13
Automake 1.4
 
I get this error message:
<snip>
creating libproff/Makefile
make[2]: Leaving directory `/export/home/bryang/nntpcache-2.4.0b5/libproff'
make[2]: Entering directory `/export/home/bryang/nntpcache-2.4.0b5/libproff'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../cf        -I../common     -I../mmap       -I../libmmalloc    -g -O2 -Wall -pipe -c list_test.c
list_test.c:4: err.h: No such file or directory
list_test.c: In function `main':

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/bryang/nntpcache-2.4.0b5'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
 
It dies because it can't find err.h in /usr/include/.  I have err.h in /usr/include/sys/  but this doesn't seem to be what it wants.  Where should I get the required err.h?
 
...
 
Can anyone help me get this to compile?  Please, I am in dire need of assistance.
 
I am trying to go to nntpcache2.4.0b5 because I have an emergency.  Nntpcache2.3.3 was running fine for a year until Saturday.  Then it started generating, this error and dying:
 
May  6 15:14:28 Virginia nntpcache-update[521]: nmalloc.c:14: XMcalloc call from list.c:__LINE__ for 6 bytes failed
 
My newsfeed provider tells me nothing has changed on their end, they run DNEWS Version 5.5b4.
 
Is there a maximum number of groups that nntpcache2.3.3 can handle.  This appears to be the only change in the scenario - the list of groups they offer has grown to more than 85,000 at this point.  Have I crossed a threshold with nntpcache where it will no longer work for me with a group list this size?
 
Sorry to sound like a desparate lunatic, but I am in a pinch here.
