You seem to have omitted some relevant information, because there's a
bunch of stuff in the compile command that did not come from these
configure options:

> gcc -march=opteron -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -pipe -O2
> -I/data/odysseus/afsudev/usr/include

In particular I'm betting this -I switch is injecting some old-version
ecpg include files into the situation.

Possibly you are building with CPPFLAGS and/or CFLAGS already set in
your environment?  That's sometimes useful but you have to be mighty
careful what you inject into builds that way.
