g++-3.0 question

I'm not a C++ hacker, and would appreciate any help on this. In preparation for g++-3.0, I setup a Debian unstable chroot tree on a friend's Red Hat system. He is upstream for the `gri' package. It currently doesn't build on g++-3.0, and he wanted to port the code. He is stuck on a problem: :
