We ran into something similar-looking recently: your problem stems
from the fact that there's no structure tag, which gcc needs to do
C++ name mangling.

You presumably have something like:

    typedef struct { ... } * GDBM_FILE;

Change this to:

    typedef struct __GDBM_FILE_RECORD { ... } * GDBM_FILE;

Or whatever, you get my drift.

Of course, I could be completely wrong, but

Have Fun anyway!
