Brigitte specifically said he had already been born and that he was already "out there somewhere - a baby or a small boy". This is what started the whole speculation in the first place.
Gaidal Cain was still in tel'aran'rhiod in tFoH (or was it tSR? One of them). There's a short scene where he tells Birgitte she's an idiot for talking to Nynaeve and Elayne. He gets spun out sometime after that, meaning he can't be more than an infant yet.
So...what was this "heartbreaking scene" with Olver in ToM?

There's really absolutely no point to his character if he isn't Gaidal Cain.

I can deal with the "spoiled" part (more or less) but it sure doesn't make him sympathetic. *NM*

I generally liked ToM, but the Olver PoV did make me cringe a bit. *NM*
