The definition appears in e.g. /usr/pkg/include/gtk-3.0/gdk/gdkevents.h:

GDK_AVAILABLE_IN_3_14
GType     gdk_event_sequence_get_type   (void) G_GNUC_CONST;

so one question might be what your gdkversionmacros.h file looks like...
(It should contain

#define GDK_MAJOR_VERSION (3)
#define GDK_MINOR_VERSION (14)
#define GDK_MICRO_VERSION (5)

given your output - maybe several copies of those header files?
)

(The only ubuntu I can reach easily is a 10.04/64 bit, so hard to try...)

Cheers,
