This is at least an odd error if it were actually finding the CAF
headers that are embedded in the Bro source tree, so a guess is that
you have an old version of CAF (AKA actor-framework or libcaf)
installed in a system directory and it is finding those instead.  Can
you check?  A specific header file in question here would be
"caf/config_value.hpp".

And for reference, building on a fresh FreeBSD 10.3 system +
bro/master checkout worked for me just now, which may also suggest a
problem in the system setup (or else an inconsistent Bro
checkout/configuration, but it seems like we are both starting from a
fresh clone).
