As a quick workaround, you can either pass --disable-werror to configure/autogen.sh or (better) compile from a release tarball rather than a git clone. In the long run, someone with access to macOS will have to fix the issue and post a patch on the development mailing list. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
