 So you are getting the same problem on the linux platform too?  I can see
 why -mpreferred-stack-boundary=4  would work but you get the problem even
 with this option enabled (and others)?
 
 When you compile the C++ code use -L /usr/local/lib to tell g++ v3.1 to get
 its system libraries from there (for some reason it doesn't default to that
 which is odd).
