Is this with a clean clone ? My first guess would be the SCM* errors there are 
swig generated files left from before the upgrade (and hence generated with an 
older version of swig/against guile 1.8).

I don't know about the cmake error.

I'm currently on Fedora 25 still as well. I have recently switched to building 
with cmake and ninja instead of cmake/autotools and make. Build times are 
greatly reduced with this combination, and perhaps that's why I don't 
encounter your cmake error (assuming you are building with make still).

If you're interested, my cmake command is this (run from an empty separate 
build directory):
$ cmake -D WITH_PYTHON=ON -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<install-path> \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
    -DWITH_AQBANKING=ON -G Ninja <path-to-gnucash-sources>
$ ninja-build && ninja-build install
