2.95.3 works.

The problem with 2.95.x is that

extern "C" void f(args);

is interpreted as

extern "C" void f(...);

2.95.3 does this only for f(), but not for f(int) or f(void).

If you're on a reasonably good compiler (with partial ordering), you can
always use

boost::bind<void>(f)

that ignores the type of f and will work for anything.
