I don't think the problem lies in the cc compiler version you're using,
but in the dash-trick patch. There was a small error in it (not
initialzing a variable) that causes this. You have two options:
1) use the newest qmail-ldap patch and dash extension
2) in the current 20010501 patch, after applying it, change two lines of
code:
change
int dash;
to
int dash=0;
remove the line (further in the code)
dash=0;
