These errors
only exist if the gcc patch is installed. I'm thinking that people are
doing what I did and using the pre-existing build of GCC from chapter 5.x
which is generating all sorts of errors. Are we supposed to do it this
way, or are we supposed to create fresh source directories everytime we
work with a program.

It's amazing how many times people miss this.  It has to be in the top
5 problems that comes up on this list since I've been around.  The
answer is here (read the big yellow boxes):

NOTE: I have gone on removing all directories if
they exist when compiling a program and I have made it as far as GRUB in
section 16 without issues. Did I hose the system by deleting the source
dir of GCC left over from 5.x?

See above.
