This is a tricky question to answer, because it partially depends on what
you're trying to compile.
Most software cource that you download comes with a script called
configure that checks your system, makes sure you have all the
pre-requisites installed, etc. and creates special directive files
It seems the easy solution for our problem(although, I haven't tried yet) would
have been to check www.XFree86.org 's website. All we need to do is select S3

First, upgrade your version of libstdc++. Also, I would upgrade your
version of xpm (I just checked and I'm running at xpm-3.4k-8mdk). With any
luck that will help. The main thing is upgrading libstdc++ - thats what is
causing your compiler to tell you that it cannot compile an executable.
Don't use the Trio 3D driver, use the S3 Virge.
