The version of GCC for Red Hat Linux 6.x distributions links against
version 2.1 of the GNU C runtime library.  You must download a 
specially compiled version of libML.a from the WRI Technical Support
website.  See this URL:

http://support.wolfram.com/MathLink/Linux/RedHat6.html

This issue is not limited to Red Hat 6.x.  You will also find that
this is the case for recent releases of other Linux distributions
such as SuSE 6.2 and Caldera OpenLinux 2.3.
