The problem doesn't happen on machines I own or have root access to. It's only a problem when you try to do gcc development on machines hosted by 3rd parties (SF compile farm, HP cluster, machines at places where I work and/or where I try to convince people to use gfortran instead of e.g. sunf90, etc.).
