I have recently come across a strange problem.

My computer is running RedHat 5.2 with quite a few Mandrake 6.0 rpms 
installed.  I am still using pgcc-1.1-1 (downloaded from the link at 
goof.com several months ago); I like the fact that it lives in 
/opt/pgcc, rather than in the locations specified by other rpms, such 
as the Mandrake version.

As of few days ago, compiling programs with pgcc-g++ now produces the 
ominous message, "symbol 'cout' has different size in shared object, 
consider re-linking".  (A program is now mysteriously hanging and I 
wonder if it related, or if I am really that bad of a programmer :-)

What causes this message?  Any idea what kind of re-linking is being 
talked about?  What should I do about this?  

On a related note, I recently downloaded pgcc-1.3-1 but chose not to 
install it, as it appeared to be targeted at i686 (even though the 
suffix was ".i586.rpm").  Is this safe to install on a P-5, or are 
there really P-6 instructions embedded in it?  

Thanks, in advance!
