That's not too surprising. You had to do more than dump a file into
src/tools to get gmx_density2 to build in 4.5.5 ;-) You can probably do
something like the above if you register your module with the new gmx
binary - see

Things change. You'll need to comment out that #include, see what breaks,
and work out how to include the right header to get the right symbols
defined.
