g++ Linker errors after upgrading to gcc-4.8 on Debian, libc6

问题

I have just dist-upgraded a Debian Weezy machine to run gcc-4.8 from gcc-4.7. Previously the build environment was sane and was compiling normally. Now it gives the following linker errors, with any program (even a trivial hello world):

I'm sure this is something simple connected with libc6, but I can't see what? I'm quite surprised to be seeing this error since I'd have assumed dpkg would have taken care of any dependencies, so I'm not sure if it's something wrong with this specific system or an issue with the debian package (which seems unlikely, since nobody else seems to have this problem!)

Any ideas? :)
