The error message is misleading. There is no old-style parameter
declaration here. My guess is that the definition for the macro
pg_attribute_printf is missing, and without that definition this is
a syntax error (which the compiler reports although it seems to be
confused about the nature of the error).
In postgresql-9.5 (haven't 9.4 and am too lazy to download it)
pg_attribute_printf is defined in "c.h".
I guess that this must be explicitely included in 9.4 but is implicitely
included in versions that the author of pg_bulkload tested.
You could try just to insert
#include "c.h"
before line 17 of pg_bulkload.c.
But ultimately you should report this incompatibility to the author(s)
of pg_bulkload.
