Yes.. gcc-3.2 switch has made lot of binary incompatibilities and not all of 
them are ironed out. Commenting out  "#include <iostream>" from source code to 
get things up is not my idea of a robust linux release.

But thankfully I have plenty of BW in office, reported this on cooker and I 
will keep watching release of libstdc++. So hopefully situation will be better 
soon. Till then I can work on other areas where libstdc++ is not needed..;-)

Open source Rulez..

Bye
