Ok, I have done this in CVS. I have marked those functions a "C" code
and I also now compile them with CC rather than CXX in the Makefile.

That should solve the problem you are having. Also if you are on Ubuntu
you can install the firefox-dev package and you do not need to use the
gecko-sdk to compile mplayerplug-in.
