There are a lot of complaints about clock skew on this machine. Not sure if
that could have messed up the build. There also seems to be a missing space
for arguments

  -l-L/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7

That __dso_handle comes out of the C++ standard library, so maybe also a
problem with -libstdc++. I cannot figure it out from the log.
Maybe Satish knows.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
