Hi, Indeed, I was using gcc version 4.0.0 20041026 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 4061) since I overlooked the warning in http://www.sagemath.org/src/README.txt
Perhaps it would make sense to give a warning when executing make? I will upgrade to a new version of gcc (in the meantime, I am using the binary).
