Thank you for your report.

This is a known issue where recent clang turns the warning for using "register"
into a hard error.  We track this bug in [issue 13] of our bug tracker.  I am
planning to remove all instances of the register keyword from C++ sources, but
so far have not gotten around to do so.  As a workaround, you can compile with
C++OPTX=-Wno-register.  But as some older compiler versions do not like this
option, we cannot currently make it a default.  This is in fact what we do on
FreeBSD (see port devel/sunpromake) to make the build work.

Yours,
Robert Causecker
