This is the type of error I am getting?

This error was fixed here: https://github.com/lh3/bwa/commit/2a1ae7b6f34a96ea25be007ac9d91e57e9d32284

I think this will still show up though if you download the release https://github.com/lh3/bwa/releases/tag/v0.7.17 rather than cloning the repository.

@lh3 Shouldn't it be a new release with this fix? For now, the current latest release failed to build on modern systems.

Just running into this as well. A new release would be great!
