I'm unable to reproduce that problem on HP-UX 11.31 with sudo-1.9.8p2.tar.gz from www.sudo.ws (and no additional patches).  I've tried both /usr/ccs/bin/make and GNU make.  If you downloaded the sudo source from somewhere else it is possible they've made some changes.

Can you attach the Makefile that it is complaining about?  I've guessing this is plugins/sudoers/Makefile but it not completely obvious from the the output you quoted.  If you have GNU make installed you might try using that and see if you still get an error.
