Might be safer to do 
+#ifndef cairo_private
+#define cairo_private
+#endif

And why it hits us, I can guess that it is a combination of GCC version
and CFLAGS. I used to see this kind of problem with one version of GCC
eg 2.95 but not another eg 3.03. Seems different versions of GCC
interpret those warning CFLAGS differently.
