This is a pretty common error when compiling from generic BSD source.
Look in /usr/include/stdio for the correct definition.  
Basically, you have to add the word (const) in there twice: so it reads
const char* const syserrlist[]
instead
char* syserrlist[]
I've never run into a problem with this change.
