You're almost certainly using gcc4.x. Don't do that.

IIRC gentoo already has a big pile hacks for this. This kind of breakage is 
exactly why those hacks haven't been merged into cvs. They're papering over 
the problem rather than fixing it, so you should expect them to need constant 
maintenance.

As mentioned several times on this recently on this list, the proper fix is to 
finish the TCG conversion. That will happen "when it's done".
