That's the problem; it's warning about an inline statement that it can't
inline, and -Werror causes the warning to become an error.  Search for
the line

   WERROR = -Werror 

in either (srcdir)/src/Makefile.in before you configure, or
(builddir)/src/Makefile after you configure.  There should only be a
single occurance.  Change it to

   WERROR =

You'll still get the warning, but it won't be a fatal error.
