Then it seems it failed to compile getdate.c properly.

No, that's the prototype, not the function. The function is in lib/getdate.c.

There must have been a previous error in the build process, surely?

My guess is that during the build the getdate.c file was regenerated from the
getdate.y source and you don't have GNU bison installed so it failed and then
it failed to build a fine getdate function.
