Have you decided what version of gcc you are usiong, and taken steps to
see that
a. the compiler in question sees the right versiuon of libs?
b. all paths, etc lead to that compiler.
I've been here, done this with gcc-3.3.1 & gcc-2.95.3. Choose your
favourite compiler; set $CC $CXX $CPP & $PATH appropiately. Set
/etc/ld.so.conf and rerun ldconfig. I ran for a while here with
gcc-2.95-3 first in the path (/usr/bin) and gcc-3.3.1 in /usr/local/bin.
I normally selected gcc-3.3.1 with $CC, $CXX, & $CPP, but would unset
them to use gcc-2.95-3. Libraries looked after themselves, but I would
make sure to have your FHS compatible locations listed before your
exotic ones. Mind you, I never tried multiple versions of binutils. You
are on your own there.
