In case anyone's interested, the fix is to upgrade to at least PGI 7.2-2.
It seems that there was a change to glibc between RHEL4 and RHEL5 (2.3 vs.
2.5) which requires __builtin_expect to be defined when using certain
pthread library functions.
This also appears to be a problem for the Sun Studio 12 compiler (bug id
6603861), but it would seem that Sun's not in a hurry to fix it.
Thanks for your time,
Mark
