Thank you for your answer.

The operating system is a

    * Linux with a kernel release : 2.6.20
    * Glibc : 2.3.2
    * gcc : 3.3.3

The interprocess tests does not pass. I did what you tell me and I have 
plenty of errors during compilation.
The problem is that I could test this on another system, but my program 
has to run on the system I've mentionned.

Is it a problem with Glibc ? or GCC ?
Do I have to upgrade them ?
