There's a couple of things you could try:

1. Use one of the recent ROTDs intead of the 20.06.1, since they no
longer contain the code that is triggering the error.

2. Tell GCC not treat that warning as an error.  You can do this by
creating a file named Mmake.params in the top-level of the source
distribution and putting the following line in it:

     EXTRA_CFLAGS = -Wno-error=array-parameter
