Can you confirm that problem persists even if you './config
no-sha512'(*)? If you can confirm this, then you would have to speculate
why does it happen in your opinion. A.

(*) it will advice to run 'make depend', it might fail with your make
[working on it], but it's safe to compile without running 'make depend'.

Adding no-sha512 to the config line is not enough.
I also have to add -DOPENSSL_NO_SHA512

Now the UnixWare 2.03 box bombs at
...
making all in crypto/pqueue...
         cc -I.. -I../.. -I../../include -DOPENSSL_THREADS -Kthread -DOPENSSL_NO_
SHA512 -DFILIO_H -DNO_STRINGS_H -c pqueue.c
UX:acomp: ERROR: "./pqueue.h", line 73: Syntax error before or at: BN_ULLONG
UX:acomp: ERROR: "./pqueue.h", line 73: cannot recover from previous errors
*** Error code 1 (bu21)
...

Another "no 64bit data type" error. (PQ_64BIT)

I don't see any way to disable that section.

Maybe at some point you just want to say
"We no longer support older compilers that do not have some 64bit data type".

I'd be OK with that (OpenSSH is already there).
It would just need to be documented and then I'd just have to patch
Configure to remove a couple of cc targets and add gcc targets.
