Please include configure option like ./configure --enable-werror which you can use... or vice versa, what ever Thank you, Samuli

Doing: export CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" ./configure ... Should fix your issue. p.s. I've fixed the (harmless) warning in upstream git master.

I find this bad and unstandard behavior. I cannot guarantee every user has CFLAGS set, having them unset is valid configuration too. However I've worked this around by always setting CFLAGS to -Wno-error before it hits configure phase in Gentoo's package (ebuild) with a reference to this bug.
