The failing rule uses $(MAKE) with gcc and CFLAGS containing -Werror.
I'd rather not grep for warnings or ignore all warnings in that file.
Here's the rule, from Makefile.maint:
# Detect format-string/arg-list mismatches that would normally be obscured
# by the use of _(). The --disable-nls effectively defines away that macro,
# and building with CFLAGS='-Wformat -Werror' causes any format warning to be
# treated as a failure. Also, check for shadowing problems with -Wshadow.
# These CFLAGS are pretty strict. If you build this target, you probably
# have to have a recent version of gcc and glibc headers.
TMPDIR ?= /tmp
t=$(TMPDIR)/$(PACKAGE)/test
my-distcheck: $(local-check)
-rm -rf $(t)
mkdir -p $(t)
GZIP=$(GZIP_ENV) $(AMTAR) -C $(t) -zxf $(distdir).tar.gz
cd $(t)/$(distdir) \
&& ./configure --disable-nls \
&& $(MAKE) CFLAGS='-Werror -Wall -Wformat -Wshadow' \
AM_MAKEFLAGS='$(null_AM_MAKEFLAGS)' \
...
