This is the type of error I am getting? What to do?

I think this will still show up though if you download the release https://github.com/lh3/bwa/releases/tag/v0.7.17 rather than cloning the repository.

@lh3 Shouldn't it be a new release with this fix? For now, the current latest release failed to build on modern systems.

Just running into this as well. A new release would be great!

Looks like this issue can be closed due to last release https://github.com/lh3/bwa/releases/tag/v0.7.18?

Thanks for the reminder.
