Yes. Something appears to be amiss on your system.
Send verbose details if you want more help.

ps detailed diagnosis aimed at amber developers:
It appears that XtSpecificationRelease is not defined when WcCreate.h
is included; WcCreate.h snippet:
     217 /* -- Wcl requires these XtR4 declarations: ***************************
     217 *****/
     218 #ifndef XtSpecificationRelease
     219 #ifdef __STDC__
     220 typedef void* XtPointer;
     221 #else
     222 typedef char* XtPointer;
     223 #endif
     224 #ifndef XtName
     225 extern char* XtName _(( Widget )); /* from ./XtName.c if not in libXt
     225 */
     226 #endif
     227 #endif /* !XtSpecificationRelease ***********************************
     227 ******/
     228
     229 /* -- Function Pointer Typedefs
     230 */
     231 typedef Widget (*WcWidgetConstructor) _((Widget,char*,ArgList,Cardinal)
     231 );

Normally XtSpecificationRelease is defined in
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Intrinsic.h
which is included very early in the compilation.
The problem with the attempt in WcCreate.h to handle situations
in which XtSpecificationRelease is not defined is that Widget is also
defined via
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Intrinsic.h
Thus the error on 225 propagates to 231 etc.
