I recently ran into a problem with the binary distribution of gcc (2.95-3). We are using C++ in a multithreaded environment, and it took us a long while to work out that the compiler had not been configured with the --enable-threads option. Without this option, our code crashes, since we use a lot of threads, as well as the STL, and C++ exceptions. Once we rebuilt the compiler it worked fine.
I would recommend turning this option on for your binary distribution of gcc, as most other distros now do.
