I can only find references to this label in newer C++ libraries, the ones 
intended for use with gcc 3.2.x and 3.3.x . So I'd suspect a version 
mismatch involving libstdc++ ... certainly a risk when you do fragmentary 
upgrading of the sort you do ... especially with gcc and related stuff, 
where the move from 2.9.5 to the various 3.*.* versions involved major 
changes, particularly to the C++ components of the compiler suite.

Hard to say for certai, though, since Iyou do not say what versions of any 
of the rest of this stuff (cpp, libstdc++, the associated -dev package, and 
a few other odds and ends) you are using. Your best bet, I suspect, is to 
do a proper apt-get undate/upgrade and let the package-management system 
wort everything out for you ... if that is a possible solution for you.
