Hi,
it seems like you're compiling with an incompatible pair of compiler
and driver. There was a change to the compiler command-line syntax
with version 2.06, which looks like what's causing the above.
Compiling 2.07 with 2.02 is hard (if not impossible). I suggest you
try out the 2.07 Linux binary distribution that the Heroic Sven
Panne has made available
ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/pub/local/pms/
(2.07 is self-compilable)
HTH,
