Just as an update...
I'm running into this same link error with a number of other packages. It's
really looking like something wrong with the interaction between gcc 2.95.3,
and glibc 2.2.5. :(

Ulrich,
I changed the bastring.cc file as you suggested. It made no difference. I
get exactly the same error as before. The .ii file showed that the modified
line was being included:
template <class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
ostream &
operator<< (ostream &o, const basic_string <charT, traits, Allocator>& s)
{
return o.write (s.data (), (streamsize) s.length ());
}

I'm not sure, but I guess this means it happens during template
expansion for a template needed in main. This would be the
'retbind' invokation, I guess. Could you compile with --save-temps
and send me the resulting .ii file?

Hmm, this looks like a bug in the standard headers themselves ...
I'm assuming you are using gcc 2.95.3, right? This comes with a
header file /usr/include/g++/std/bastring.cc, which reads around
line 470:
template <class charT, class traits, class Allocator>
ostream &
operator<< (ostream &o, const basic_string <charT, traits, Allocator>& s)
{
return o.write (s.data (), s.length ());
}
This calls ostream::write with a second argument of type
size_t, which is long on s390, not streamsize, which is
int on s390 ...
Does it help if you change that line to:
return o.write (s.data (), (streamsize) s.length ());
Bye,
Ulrich
