and how can I solve it to compile ethereal till the end?



To quote the Red Hat bug:

    In rawhide, this is fixed in gcc-4.0.0-6.

Getting that version of the compiler is left as an exercise to the reader.
There have also been patches to Ethereal to work around that compiler bug; I don't remember what the patches were (other than that they were adding extra blanks to strings so that there weren't two identical string constants in some source files). 

Or, as shown in the Ethereal bug:

http://bugs.ethereal.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156
(now marked as Invalid since it was determined to be a compiler bug), configuring with "--with-ssl" will also overcome the issue. 

There are also links from that bug to the patches Guy mentioned.
