Looks like there is some external interference, try compiling in a clean bash environment; some googling suggests that LIBRARY_PATH variable should be unset - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=30418
First be sure it can compile the original master branch without issues.
Still fails here :-/
