It's been fixed in glibc-2.0.6.  Here's the relevant info:

  1997-11-30 06:01  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

       * posix/sys/wait.h (__WAIT_INT): Don't use complex version with
       __typeof for C++ since this fails for class members.
       Reported by Neal Becker <neal@ctd.comsat.com>.
