As a fast shot, try to install a newer (different) version of gcc, as I assume, since you found similar errors, this might be a problem with the version of gcc On the other hand this error might also be connected to the package you are trying to install or to something else you are trying to do. Possibly check the dependencies and/or version updates for the packages you try to install. If you really want to hunt the error you have to be more specific about what files had produced the error, what where the compiler arguments and how is this error reproducable with some example code that contains not much more than the code which produces the error.
