If you are using any third party libraries, make sure that they are too built with GCC4.4.0
Other than that it looks like a simple link error, can u paste the relevant code?

this is one the functions giving the error.



int scan_input(const int argc, const char *args[], int *ptype)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < argc; ++i)
{
if (strcmp("-c", args) == 0)
{
*ptype = 1;
return i + 1;
}
else if (strcmp("-j", args) == 0)
{
*ptype = 2;
return i + 1;
}
}

*ptype = 0;
return 0;
}

This symbols are part of the -pg (profiling switch).
To fix this, add -pg to linker options as well and it will fix your problems

Googling your error could have fixed it in minutes:

thanks. i found it out after reading the gcc manual again

one question: is there anyway to pass -lm end of each compile command in make file?

Try to add it in the linker options:
project settings -> linker -> linker options
