I should have mentioned in my first post that I did a cvs update. 
Anyhow, just to be sure I wasn't fouling myself up with sticky tags, I did:

$ cvs -z3 update -A
$ cvs -z3 update -dP

gstcaps.h is 1.18 and contains those lines.  Still, I get the same error.
To eliminate as many factors as possible, I created this minimal C++
program:

#include <stream.h>
extern "C" {
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <gst/gst.h>
}

class Foo {
    public:
        void main(int argc, char *argv[]);
};

void Foo::main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    cout << "Foo" << endl;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    Foo *foo = new Foo();
    foo->main(argc, argv);
}


Compiling Foo.cc with gcc 3.0 I get the same errors as before.  Compiling
with gcc 2.91 (egcs-1.1.2) I get these errors:
