Ok, just recompiled gcc with the latest glibc, no problems compiling
the test program with that. The cause must be something else, though i
don't really have a clue what that could be.
binutils  2.14.90.0.8
gcc       3.3.3
glibc     2.3.3

gcc compiled with C, C++, Java, Ada and Objective C frontends, without
fixed includes.
