Can you file a bug in bugzilla.openedhand.com about this with details
about your version of gcc? Most likely this warning is a recent
addition.

Can you try editing clutter/clutter/Makefile.am and adding to the line:

Clutter- CLUTTER_API_VERSION@.gir: $(INTROSPECTION_SCANNER) libclutter- CLUTTER_FLAVOUR@- CLUTTER_API_VERSION@.la

two more dependencies:

  Cogl- CLUTTER_API_VERSION@.gir ClutterJson- CLUTTER_API_VERSION@.gir

It looks like we might need to force those to be built before Clutter-0.9.gir. If that helps, please file a (separate) bug about that as well.

Thanks!
