Thanks for the report. This is a gnulib problem, so I'm adding that list.
Are you sure you are using a C++ compiler instead of a C compiler?

Actually, the real fix is to make gnulib realize how to properly assign to
fpos_t, even when it is a struct. But this is something that Bruno may be
more familiar with, since he wrote the code in this file.
