As long as you have problem even with MySQL test suite and examples which is known to work, this indicates the problem is mostly related to your configuration.

1) You're using GCC "egcs-2.91.66", where the recommended compiler to use to compile MySQL is GCC 2.95.x, where x is 2 and higher) This may lead to problems. 2) Your Operation system version is quite old. You are probably using GLIBC 2.1.x which may produce some problems as well as quite old 2.2.x kernel. So we would recommend to try your test in more decent configuration and see if it works.
