This program compiles with no errors using gcc 3.2.1 or gcc 3.3 on
    freebsd, or using gcc 3.2.2 on mandrake linux.

I think your install of either gcc or glibc is incomplete or broken in
    some way.

Maybe.

Do you have a package named libc-devel (or maybe glibc-devel?) ? If
    not, install it.
