What were you trying to do?
Compiling a C++ program

What's wrong:
gcc in the gnu locker seems broken on linux

What should have happened:
/mit/gnu/arch/i386_linux22/bin/gcc should have worked.
Gives the following error:
undefined reference to `istream::seekg(long long, ios::seek_dir)
%/mit/gnu/arch/i386_linux22/bin/gcc -v
gives
Reading specs from /mit/gnu/arch/i386_linux3/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnu/2.95/specs
gcc version 2.95 19990728 (release)

Same code works on Sun workstations
Same code works if the default RedHat6.2 gcc is used

/usr/bin/gcc -v gives
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)

and code compiles fine.
