Indeed, this was a problem. I see that in current CVS HEAD and in the
bfd version inside the GDB 6.8 branch this is fixed by not using a

You could try running configure with --disable-werror.

I didn't have problems compiling 6.7 with GCC 4.1.x, so it seems that
newer GCC versions are more forgiving about this problem.
