Linking problem after reinstall of gcc 3.3.3

[Martin Magnusson]

I recently tried to install gcc 3.4.4 in parallel to the 3.3.3 
installation I already had (under Cygwin). I built gcc 3.4.4 with 
--prefix=/usr/local and --program-suffix=-3.4.4

However, after "make install", building the project I'm working on with 
gcc 3.3.3 didn't work anymore. I'm getting numerous "undefined 
reference" errors during linking. Compiling with gcc 3.4.4 doesn't work 
either, but that's more because of problems with my source code. Even 
after removing all traces of gcc 3.4.4 (I believe) and using Cygwin's 
installation program to reinstall gcc 3.3.3, I still get the same 
errors. Compiling simple tests works fine, however.

Here is an example of the top of the error output:

Right now I don't really know what else to do. Do the error messages 
above give any insight as to what I could do to make it work again?
