That's what I first tried, but unfortunately SF doesn't offer strace.

Since I get the v0.9.10 working, and I don't know what exactly the problem
is, I'd leave it to somebody who is more suitable.

Ah,found it, not because of the gcc, but because of one illegal char:

Just FYI, my research reveals that SF shell runs on CentOS release 4.4,
but it web server runs on Fedora Core 2. 

Hope the info may come handy when you try to build an official binary code
for SF.
