Bug#412137: g++-4.1: On one machine g++ fails to compile programs, even though all dependencies are met

[Wojciech Zabołotny <W.Zabolotny@elka.pw.edu.pl>]

Package: g++-4.1
Version: 4.1.1-21
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I have two similar machines with g++-4.1 installed. All dependencies are
met. On one machine g++ works perfectly, on the another one (this is the
machine on which I write this bug report) I'm not able to compile even the
simplest C++ program like:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
  string c("223");
  string d("erer");
  cout << c << d << "\n";
  return 0;
}

I get:
$ g++ test2.cpp
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/cstdlib:135:
error: "::system" has not been declared

I have tried to "apt-get install --reinstall" g++ and all packages it
depends on. Nothing helps. Maybe this is a problem with the unspecified
dependency of the compiler?
