This means the pine binary could not be created, for some unspecified reason. My guess is that maybe you don't have libncurses4-dev installed, but it's difficult to say without more data (if you have the complete logs, it would help). In case of difficulty, try to do it in two steps: debian/rules build as a normal user [ coffee here ] debian/rules binary as root. Hope this helps.
