Libtorrent-svn compiling trouble

Question

Using gcc 4.4.2-4
libtorrent-svn revision 1119
I get this error when trying to build the package from AUR:
checking signedness of mincore parameter... configure: error: failed, do *not* attempt fix this with --disable-mincore unless you are running Win32.
The libtorrent wiki specifically addresses this problem here: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/CompilationHelp
Problem: Most likely, no C++ compiler is installed.
Solution: Install g++ or any other competent C++ compiler.
In most cases this error message is very misleading and indicates a general inability to compile C++ code rather than a specific problem with the signedness of the mincore parameter.
I do have a C++ compiler installed. I have not been able to find any information on issues with libtorrent-svn and my compiler. What are my options for getting this compiled? Does anyone know what might be the problem? Thanks

I copied the parts of config.log that seemed relevant. If I missed something important I will just post the entire thing, but it was fairly large.
configure:16597: g++ -c -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -DNDEBUG -I/usr/include/sigc++-2.0 -I/usr/lib/sigc++-2.0/include conftest.cpp >&5

configure:16610: error: failed, do *not* attempt fix this with --disable-mincore unless you are running Win32.
g++ --version and gcc --version returns: g++ (GCC) 4.4.2 20091208 (prerelease)
Also, forgot to add: glibc shows as 2.11.1-1. Is this correct? zeerak mentioned that glibc/gcc/g++ all need to be the same version...maybe this is whats going on?
edit #2: Ok so I switched repositories just to see if that helped. Apparently the one I was using was a tiny bit behind the unixheads one, so I updated to the new 2.6.32.2 kernel and headers. Tried to rebuild libtorrent-svn with no difference, still fails with the same error.
