These are not new errors. This comes up often enough that it should probably
be a FAQ.

These errors show up if you have an old version of glibc headers
(glibc-devel if you are using an RPM-based system). You can either update to
a new version of glibc that doesn't have this problem, or turn off -Werror
by configuring with --disable-more-warnings.

Note well, that's "glibc", not "glib".
