A bit more investigation shows that this code from mpeglib/lib/input/cdromAccess.cpp seems to be trying to overcome the problem:

#ifdef OS_Linux
  #include <linux/version.h>
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #ifndef __u64
  #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,70)
  typedef unsigned long long __u64;
  #endif
  #endif
  #include "cdromAccess_Linux.cpp"
#endif

I'm happy to be corrected, but I think that, on i386, "#ifndef __u64" will always be true because __u64 is a typedef (rather than a #define) to unsigned long long in asm/types.h. But then the "local" typedef is guarded and only "executes" if the kernel is 2.5.70 or later. As I said in the previous post, my headers are from 2.4.23. I guess 2.5 changes must have been backported.
It looks to me as if the only real way to overcome this is through an entry in config.h (HAVE___U64?), but setting up the gnu build system is a complete mystery to me, so I can't help there, sorry
