It's a problem with gcc-2.95 or earlier. Originally, C doesn't allow
variable declarations mixed in the middle of a block. Take a look at
line 133, it's a call to g_return_val_if_fail(). The declarations of
result and id should be placed before this call.

Starting from gcc-3, however, this is allowed as an extension to the
original C language. Refer to
<http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.0.4/gcc_5.html#SEC93>. Therefore,
you can either manually modify those violating lines (there are some
more that file) or switch to gcc-3.
