This was a transient bug in the C++ compiler. It has since been
fixed. If you update your C++ compiler (presumably you are building
it from cvs) then you should be fine.

Most of our snapshots build. The question is whether the C++ compiler
is broken :-(. It should be ok right now, but there's no telling how
long this window will be open.
