This error indicates that one of USHRT_MAX, UINT_MAX and/or ULONG_MAX is 
incorrectly set in gcc's <limits.h>.  However, I had our staff fire up 
R3.03 and they were unable to reproduce this problem (current product is 
R3.5).

You may want to create the simplest possible demo (e.g.

#include <vector>

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> v;
}

?)

and contact ps2_support_at_[hidden] and/or the Sony PS2 newsgroups.
