Also please mention the gcc version, as this is not a problem in my
devel machine, where I have:

[acme@ssdandy linux]$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=/usr/bin/gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/lto-wrapper

gcc version 4.8.2 20140120 (Red Hat 4.8.2-16) (GCC) 
[acme@ssdandy linux]$

But I'll get those VMs with more distros working again...

Thanks for the report!
