I found the same error when compiling on FreeBSD 4.8 on i386, gcc 2.95.3.
After some research and some talking with pb, I've found it's some sort of
bug with gcc 2.X. To compile successfully, look for a macro definition on
the ansidecl.h file (under the libgst dir, IIRC - I don't have the source
code ready here) with the code "__attribute__ (x)" and remove the space,
turning it into "__attribute__(x)".

That should enable you to compile it. If for some reason you don't find it,
I'll be happy to post a patch here later, as soon as I have access to my
FreeBSD box again.

Please post here if that solves your problem (or if it doesn't).
