You don't build Pine by calling make directly at all.  You run
"./build lnx" (for Linux) and it does all configuration and makes for you.
(Different targets are available for determining how to get crypt().) 

Under BSD/OS, I didn't have to tweak a thing... Pine built on the first
try.  Under Debian Linux, I had a bit of trouble, but I don't recall what
it was.  Hum... I just tried it again and got an error about undefined
references to crypt.  

If that's what you're getting, use "./build slx" to get the normal crypt
function or "./build sl5" to get the shadow crypt function if you're using
shadowed passwords.  (If you have an /etc/shadow file, you're probably
using shadowed passwords.)
