I built that this afternoon for x86_64-linux without incident.

Over the past few days, there has been quite a bit of brokenness in the 
simulators. Developers are working to sort it out. See, for example:

about the most over the past week.]

Does your problem sound anything like that? [It doesn't really, but 
without actual log of the build, it is unwise to commit. :-)]

I'm using gcc version 4.6.3 20120306 (Red Hat 4.6.3-2) (GCC). This is 
the Fedora 15 system compiler.
