With all due respect, that gcc release is from Feb 2007 [1]. You are presumably not trying to stick to the corresponding R release -- which would be R 2.4.1 or R 2.5.0 as of Apr 2007. So consider an upgrade of other pieces of the system too, if you can. It is not entirely fair to expect current releases of software to work with a toolchains from 7 1/2 years ago. In the future, containerization will make that easier, but you are probably also running a 2.4 kernel so ... All that said, I feel your pain. But if you manage to download and configure from a tarball for R, consider doing the same for gcc/g77/g++ and friends.
