I am using gcc-2.7.0. I have been trying to resolve this
for the past 2 days. I got to the point of installing new
source, so an out-of-date object file could not be the
case. Besides, I'm religious with 'make clean' :). I've
been using the same compiler to compile kernels and
programs since Jun 15 1995. Just about every program I
use on this box has been compiled with this gcc. I have
never had a problem with it.
