Although the thread is quite old, wanted to post my solution here, as I ran about this error message today. On my Tiger V.10.9.4 (no fink) it seems that Xcode has set gcc v.3.22 to the default. If I set the compiler to 4.0 it seems to create the executables as requested. In the terminal: $ sudo gcc_select 4.0 Maybe this is still of a help to some people out there. cucwittenb.
