OS is OpenBSD 3.9-release.
I installed gcc 4.1.1 in the standard GCC way (configure, gmake, gmake
install),
*not* using the OpenBSD package system, under /usr/local/ . This gcc compiles
"hello, world" fine, and also a toy test program using 'new int[10]'.
However, attempting to compile a certain large application (a mixture of
C, C++, Fortran 77, and Fortran 90) dies in a C++ file, reporting the following
fatal errors inside an internal GCC header file:
/usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-unknown-openbsd3.9/4.1.1/../../../../include/c++/4.1.1/new:84:
error: 'operator new' takes type 'size_t' ('unsigned int') as first parameter
/usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-unknown-openbsd3.9/4.1.1/../../../../include/c++/4.1.1/new:85:

>From looking at timestamps, the file in question (the pathname resolves to
/usr/local/include/c++/4.1.1/new) was indeed installed as part of this gcc.
Compiling the same application works fine with the same gcc version (4.1.1)
built on an i686-pc-linux-gnu system, so this problem seems to be specific
to OpenBSD.
I will attach the full output of '/usr/local/bin/g++ -v' and of
'/usr/local/bin/g++ -v -save-temps ... my-file.cc', along with the
gzipped .ii file generated by the latter command
