Upstream atk headers don't suffer from this issue.

They include system headers inside extern "C", which seems wrong and
causes the issue. This is the minimal patch.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Target Milestone: --- → 87 Branch

FWIW it looks like https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/commit/51003d409bb4b6c9a8540f70b92f8045abc4f0c9 added c++ to glib/gmacros.h in GLib 2.67.3. We may want to backport this to esr78 so this is fixed as distros update to glib 2.68?

Thanks for finding that! Yeah, probably worth uplifting.
