In addition to what Tony said, this is a good reason to report bugs to
jira.freeswitch.org. Also, just for reference, this particular module is
not critical for FreeSWITCH to work - it was contributed by a community
member (IRC: moc). Moc has A LOT of practice fixing his errors, so assign
the bug to him. ;)

In the meantime you can exclude this module from being built just by
editing modules.conf in your freeswitch source directory. In fact, it might
be worth it for you to review which modules you are building by default.
There may be modules you don't want or need that you can skip. This will
make your builds go faster and you won't get tripped up by annoying errors
on modules that you don't actually use.
