It's easy to resolve: this is a symbol defined by libstdc++, and you
did not link it with that library. So you either need to add -lstdc++
to your linker line, or you need to make sure c++ is used to link your
extension module, not gcc.

The more interesting question is: What did you *think* this message
would indicate? Never heard of ostream?
