On MacOSX 10.3 ("Panther") for which the package was made, this "bug"
did not lead to an error; it gave a compatibility version of 0.1.2, as
you still can see if you check out the precompiled Fink package
libpng3-shlibs_1.2.5-2_darwin-powerpc.deb from the 0.7.1 binary
distribution.
The "bug" did not exist in the original Makefile.darwin as submitted to
libpng by Fink's father Christoph Pfisterer in 2001. There, the
compatibility_version was set to $(PNGMIN), not $(PNGVER).
It does not exist in contemporary versions of the libpng3 package
either, where the compatibility_version is now hard-coded to 0 or 3.
If you really, for some odd reason, want to make the Fink distribution
0.7.1 from 2004 (which even for Panther was superseded by 0.7.2 in early
2005) work for building from source on MacOSX 10.5, you will certainly
encounter a lot more difficult problems. But you cannot seriously expect
anyone else to "fix" these problems.
How did you get this old Fink distribution, anyway? Did you find it on
an old computer? AFAICT it is not accessible on sourceforge anymore.
For fellow hobby archaeologists: The 0.7.1 bindist is still available at
http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/bindist/dists/fink-0.7.1/
The package is in main/binary-darwin-powerpc/graphics/
