Two repositories exist, the developper one is on
$ cat > do-cvs <<END
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.blender.org:/cvs01
echo "password: anonymous"
cvs login
echo "cvs -z3 update blender"
END
$ . ./do-cvs
$ cvs -z3 co blender

Usually you do not want to pollute de check-out tree
$ cd blender
$ ./bootstrap

Does this thing work or you are using the Makefile that are
present.  We refer to then like the old Makefiles

$ cd ..
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../blender/configure --srcdir=../blender

Then we will try cross-compiler help.  I am on gcc 3.2
41 #include <iostream> 
58        std::cout << "GHOST_EventPrinter::processEvent, time: " <<
(GHOST_TInt32

On line 41, <iostream> is the name of the header who has
the definition of "cout".  That is ISO/IEC 144882 standard.

We have no test for now, checking for compliance with standard.
That means line 41 for you must be <iostream.h>
The file must be patch with
#ifdef HAVE_STD
#include <iostream>
#else
#include <iostream.h>
#endif

and tell peoples using autoconfuscation to add test for their setup
