I read:

well, saying that you should make clean the auxlibs before re-making them would sound sarcastic, wouldn't it ? (but it helped for me then)

been there, done that, even rm -rf Gem* gem-* and unpacking again, making clean again after configure, changing auxlibs makefiles to explicitly use g..-2.95 or 3.2, still no success, anyway the box is about 10h train ride away from me now, I'll look at it again (and maybe gem cvs version) in 10days or so.
