This is an odd error.  I saw the other related mailing list thread.
To debug it:

1. Run the build and let it fail.
2. Find out the command-line to build qapi/qapi-visit-core.o: make V=1
3. Change the gcc command-line that was printed out in step #2:
gcc ... -o qapi/qapi-visit-core.o qapi/qapi-visit-core.c
To this:
gcc ... -o qapi-visit-core.txt -E qapi/qapi-visit-core.c

The -E option outputs the pre-processed source.  It will be written to
qapi-visit-core.txt.  Please post the entire pre-processed source (try
http://pastebin.com/ to avoid sending a huge email).
