[Boost-users] ld warnings when building boost on Fedora Core 4 with gcc 3.4.4

I've recently switched my Linux system to Fedora Core 4 which has gcc
4.0.1 as the default compiler.  Since the code I'm developing must be
built with gcc 3.4.4, I have installed a copy of gcc 3.4.4 at
/usr/local/gcc/gcc34.  When I build boost with this compiler I get
hundred of similar errors from /usr/bin/ld.  I'll attach those warnings
to the end of this email.

I invoked the build with the command:

./bjam -d2 --with-serialization
-sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/usr/local/gcc/gcc34 -sBUILD="release"

I do see boost get built using my specified compiler but get all the
warnings.   Building boost without specifying the gcc 3.4.4 compiler
does not produce any errors.  I suspect the problem has something to do
with the version of ld that gets invoked but even if it does, how would
I fix it.  ld is version:

GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2.2 20041220

Can anyone help?

Build output follows in the proximity of the warnings:
