That's what I thought.

Let me guess: somewhere in libavcodec/, on cabac.h, right?

If so, this is a known problem. When make fails, just copy the final
failed compiler command line, remove the '-g' option, run it from inside
the 'libavcodec' directory, and then run 'make' again from the original
location. If it still fails, please give us the final compiler command
line before the failure, all of the messages which were printed after
that command line, and (just in case) the configure command you used.

If that isn't it, then we will need that same information to figure out
what the problem is.
