I am not sure which version of make you are using or why it is having
problems with a suffix list.

However, the bison generated files should not be needed unless you have
configured using --enable-maintainer-mode.

A workaround might be

  touch lib/getdate.c lib/getdate.h

so that they will both be newer than lib/getdate.y

You may wish to do the following:

    ./configure

and look closely at the output to see what is happening. 

If the HP/UX version of make does not work, then you could pick up a
copy of GNU make http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/make-3.80/
and give that a try.
