That's actually a warning, and because of the -Werror flag, it is
treated as an error.
I do not know why Werror would be enabled. If you cannot find the reason,
then when the compilation fails and you get the jhbuild options as to
what to do,
pick Option 4 which gives you a shell. Enter the guile directory and
fix up what you can.

If you check at the JhAutobuild website, you can see recent jhbuild
sessions from people
that opted in to have the information made available online. From what
I see, there are no
failed builds due to guile (guile is not compiled).

So, one thing you can do is try jhbuild again and enable to send the
logs to JhAutobuild,
