Now I get syntax errors in some library file:
---snip---
sielenk at fenchurch ~/working/bitc/code $ bitcc -I ~/include --emit c Main.bitc
/home/sielenk/lib/libbitc.bita:9:32: syntax error
/home/sielenk/lib/libbitc.bita:1:1: syntax error
---snip---

I tried the usual update as you mentioned above (with an additional 'make 
install' into my home folder). After that didn't work I cleaned manually and 
built again but the error remains.
