It isn't a bug, it is a design implementation.  All egcs/pgcc compilers will
insert the above symbol from now on.

Please see item 2.8 in the GLIBC FAQ for a paragraph of explanation.

The answer is to compile all your products with the same version of
compiler.  This includes your C library as well as your applications.  I.e.
use egcs on everything instead of mixing egcs and gcc.
