Hi Dirk,

Thanks for your report.

It looks like the problem is mismatched gcc versions between the two
machines.  This means that the internal header file
/usr/include/bits/sigthread.h is using a construct not supported by
the remote gcc.

Please make sure you're using the same version on both machines.  You
didn't say what the client is, but if it's also Debian-based you
should be able to just install the same gcc .deb on both, and use a
versioned name like gcc-3.3.

Good luck!  Let us know if this doesn't fix ti.

Regards,
