It seems __builtin_ctzll is only available in GCC 3.4.0 and beyond, so I think a better fix is something like this:

diff --git a/ewah/ewok.h b/ewah/ewok.h
index 43adeb5..2700fa3 100644
--- a/ewah/ewok.h
+++ b/ewah/ewok.h
@@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ static inline uint32_t ewah_bit_popcount64(uint64_t x)
  return (x * 0x0101010101010101ULL) >> 56;
 }

-#ifdef __GNUC__
+#if (__GNUC__ == 3 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 4) || __GNUC__ > 3
 #define ewah_bit_ctz64(x) __builtin_ctzll(x)
 #else
 static inline int ewah_bit_ctz64(uint64_t x)
