I'd guess that's the case. You should be able to create a symlink to sort it 
out.

gcc 3.x requires that when you link a C++ program, you link with g++, and 
when 
you do so you get a dynamic link to the C++ runtime.  gcc 2.95.x was more 
lenient about this and you could link with gcc and get a statically linked 
C++ runtime. 

So, our LINUX24x86 build (see 'p4 -V') is still built with gcc 2.95.3 and is 
linked with gcc. Our AMD64 build is built with gcc 3.x and linked with g++, 
and hence is dynamically linked to the C++ runtime.

The joys of platform porting :)
