I ran into this problem with my Linux system. As most of the libraries had
been compiled with egcs-1.0.3, egcs-1.1.1, egcs-1.1.2, and when I moved to
gcc-2.95.1, everything went to hell. :o(
Solution was to recompile nearly everything. Fortunately, I've got ~600MB
sources on a CD so it was just a matter of rebuilding all the critical
libraries, and then fixing the rest as I find them.
Cheers,
Alex
