Problems with installing Perl 6

When building AUR 'nqp' package, which is dependency for rakudo, I'm getting the following error messages:

In file included from dyncall_callvm.c:30:0:

cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Is this a known issue? Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks.

EDIT: The package contains a patch, which solves similar problems of missing function prototypes for other functions, but the patch doesn't contain corrections for the functions in error messages. I guess one could add the prototypes manually, but I decided to install racudo directly from git. Because perl6 can be called from the directory where it's built, without any installing, the packaging stuff is not needed in this case.
