Yep, like others pointed out, this is ancient. Almost completely
different API if you look at the details.

This probably can't be fixed anymore, because I don't think these
"extern" blocks can be nested. So if extern blocks would be added to
the ffmpeg public headers, every single downstream C++ program would
break.
