gcc2.95 says-"non local function uses anonymous type"

[Pran Joseph]

Hi,

    I installed gcc 2.95.2 package on my freebsd 3.4 i386 machine.
Default
gcc with freebsd install is gcc 2.7.2.3

gcc295 -v is giving the output below -->
  Reading specs from
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-portbld-freebsd3.4/2.95.2/specs
  gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

When I use gcc295 to compile my programs i am getting some errors. Same
file was working fine with gcc 2.7

gcc295 error--->

 In file included from test.cpp
 test.h:5: non local function 'struct {anonymous}  * OpenDatabase(int)
uses anonymous type


test .h file contents -->

:4 #include<gdbm.h>
:5 GDBM_FILE OpenDatabase(int);

  Any one of you encountered  this problem or know how to solve this
problem.
