I'm pretty sure that the upgrade from glibc-2.0 to 2.1 caused these
problems. I, too, had to recompile my X11 libraries (not any C
applications though) when I made that upgrade. It's mentioned in
glibc's release notes, I believe.
I see no evidence that there are any backwards compatibility problems
with `pure' C code due to gcc upgrades.
