I am not seeing this problem (trunk bzr 107261)
on Fedora 15 x86-64 with GCC 4.6.2.
That diagnostic is because the following static assertion
is failing:
verify (INT_MAX <= PTRDIFF_MAX);
which suggests that your compilation environment is misconfigured
somehow -- I don't know of any platforms where INT_MAX
is greater than PTRDIFF_MAX.
I suggest running 'make distclean; ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make',
or if that fails a fresh checkout.
