Hi, I too face these errors when building harfbuzz-ng/util . As the main 
directory, harfbuzz-ng, is already built, you can safely ignore the errors in 
harfbuzz-ng/util and proceed with the rest of the steps.

I haven't seen that error before. Please try "make clean" before "make" and see 
if the error disappears.
