There's your problem.

Autoconf-generated configure scripts do _NOT_ support -Werror; it is too
problematic to ever guarantee that all possible warnings from all
possible gcc versions will always be silenced.

It is permissible to configure without -Werror, and add it later via
'make CFLAGS="-Werror ..."', once configure has found correct results.
But by injecting -Werror too soon into the process, you've made
configure guess a wrong result:

...

with disastrous consequences on the rest of the project compilation.
