I'm not able to reproduce this.   One thing I do between builds that
you don't mention is:
  git clean -xfd

I'm not sure why that should be needed, but it replaces having to run
clean (or a variant), at the cost of having to run autogen.sh each
time.

In any case, grepping a log of my successful build, just now, for
error or warning messages I see only:

w32heap.c:853:14: warning: 'm' may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Which is expected on Windows.
