Looking at the log, this is just a normal internal compiler error from gcc:

XmString.c: In function 'XmStringGetNextTriple':
XmString.c:5484:9: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different
size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
XmString.c: In function 'XmStringComponentCreate':
XmString.c:5520:33: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different
size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]

make[2]: *** [XmString.lo] Error 1

It was reported at least on https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27357 but
I din't find upstream (gcc) report. I'll try to have a look.
