The latter portion of that thread is relevant.

This is a Redhat GCC bug that gets triggered by the use of G_GNUC_INTERNAL
to define symbol visibility. However, I have no idea why it's complaining
about about pgm_rs_create() which does not appear to be defined in this
way. Maybe Steven has some idea?

As a workaround you can compile with --disable-shared, or try a different
GCC version if one is available for your distribution.
