I met the same error on an ALPHA with DECC.

Yes - here output from DIFFERENCE with a corrected BUILD.COM:

ZSBS01$ diff [.lynx2-8]build.com

This is strange because just before calling the compiler there is
the command

SET DEF [.SRC]

But I had no time to evaluate the problem further. Sorry.
After this change LYNX 2.8 compiled without any further complaints.
