I think that's from the following declaration in utils.h:

enum errors;

This was reported recently, and we discovered that this type of
declaration was a GCC extension not supported by older versions
of GCC.

I thought we had this fixed, already, but it looks like not.
You can probably work-around the problem by adding

#include "exceptions.h"

around the start of utils.h. Or configure with --disable-werror.
