We even help (when we can) people who aren't members of SLUG.

What version of GCC? The command "gcc -v" will tell you.
Did you compile it youself or did you get it as part of the distribution?

Blue? Email is black text on a white background for me. I know some
that prefer white text on a blac background.
Unfortunately this problem is very difficult to debug by just looking
at the code.
What is it you are trying to compile?
Trying compiling a minmal C program like this:
#include <stddef.h>
int main (void) { return 0 ; }
If that still fails compile the same program with:
gcc -E minimal.c > minimal.e
and then put the output file on a web server soemwhere and post a link.
HTH,
