This particular error is https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85623.
We can work around it by replacing the strncmp call with memcmp, but a number
of annoying gcc8 warnings remain (if you don't have system headers that hide
the warning):

bfd/coffcode.h:3461:7: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 8 equals destination
