I fear that's the only possibility: the code is no valid C++, gcc-4.1
did accept it, later versions don't do it anymore: You are not allowed
to define a function inside a namespace outside the namespace :-)

 void *glite::config::service_main(void * data);
is invalid, you need instead

namespace glite{
namespace config{
 void *service_main(void * data);
}
}

At least to my knowledge there is nothing else you can do:-(
