This happens sometimes because recursive configure invocations can have 
different variables set than recursive make invocations causing slightly 
different config.cache files to be created depending on how exactly 
configure was invoked in a subdirectory.  So if you configure, cvs 
update, and then type make forcing a recursive make to invoke configure 
in a subdir previously configured via a recursive configure, you may get 
an error.  Just delete the subdir config.cache file and type make again.

Some patches have been added to gcc-4 to try to fix this, though new 
errors in this area sometimes creep back in.
