It looks like that ancient version of gcc and PHP 5.2.12 breaking dates is something we probably don't want to add workaround code for, since it looks like a pretty borked bug to me. I guess it's our use of gmdate() when setting cookie expiry (you could look at your cookie data to confirm)... and that's just something PHP will have to fix (or some kind of announcement needs to be made regarding compatibility with old gcc versions(?). It's not really something we can do anything about.
