The error() function is something that a lot of GNU programs use.
This problem is fixed in the cvs repo.

I don't know.  But generally it is ok to use functions like these; we
can always add configure machinery to let us add our own
implementation on systems that don't have them.

If you want to come up with a patch for this, that would be great.

I don't know what the problem is there, sorry.
