This sounds familiar. You didn't include the command line so it's hard
to be sure, but it looks like it compiles with -Werror so all warnings
are treated like errors. If that is the case, just remove all occurances
of -Werror in the Makefiles.

Remove gnome/epiphany from the LIBDEPS line in the Makefile of the
gnome-desktop garball. It's only important if you want to test Epiphany.
Nothing else depends on it.
