How many versions of GCC do you have installed?
Do the versions of 'gcc -V', 'ld -V' all match?
Given the versions numbers, when you run "dpkg -l 'gcc*'" is that
version properly installed?
How about versions of g++?

When I had that problem I uninstalled all old versions of gcc/g++, did
a make clean and recompiled from scratch and that fixed it. I also
upgraded glibc to the same date as gcc, since the error is based (I
think) on a mismatch between the expectations of the compiler and of
the C library.

Hope this helps,
