Linux 2.4.20, and 
  $ LANG=C gcc -v
  Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/specs
  Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --host=i386-redhat-linux
  Thread model: posix
  gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)
  $ ld -v
  GNU ld version 2.13.90.0.18 20030206

How are you doing?  euid!=uid means that you use suid program?

Rather, why do you compile as root? Basically, you don't need
to be root to compile/link.
