The -Werror flag is to ensure that the code builds without warnings
(it promotes warnings to errors).
I think maybe we should add a configure option to relax this flag if
people are having problems with it.

__attribute__ is a gcc extension, but for some reason it seemed to be the
cause of your problem, even though you are using gcc.

Did you successfully compile the latest CVS version without having to
make the changes above?

If not, please let me see the exact error messages - I need to know so
that I can account for it in our configure process.

In theory it should - the codebase is of mature status.
