This is actually a GNU linker issue, not a gcc issue.  You may have
better luck asking on binutils@sourceware.org.  See
http://sourceware.org/binutils/ for more information.

The error message means that a symbol had version index 3, but there
were no defined versions.  Or something like that.  I don't know how
that could happen, given that the file was built using the GNU linker.
