If you used that C++ compiler, or used he same version of gcc (i,e,
4.3.2) then you've run into a compiler problem.  It is unfortunate that
Debian decided to stay with a compiler that cannot compile a vital gcc
component, GMP.

I think Vincent Lefevre created a small test case for this problem and
reported it to gcc.

Your options are to get gcc 4.3.3 or newer, or to stay with an older
version of GMP (which has a different version of the file 4.3.2
miscompiles).
