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.
