For anyone else struggling with this bug, the following works like a charm in feisty/i386:

1) purge the feisty util-vserver package (and probably vserver-debiantools package, I don't use it)

2) download the debian stable package from
http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/util-vserver

3) install the debian stable util-vserver package, which I think is built/linked against an earlier gcc:
dpkg -i util-vserver_0.30.212-1_i386.deb

4) get on with your life

I know this package is in "universe" which is unsupported. But this bug has been open for several months now with no resolution, and has caused me (and I know others) wasted hours. Can't someone simply put debian's util-vserver into the ubuntu universe repository until the problem with gcc 4.1 can be worked out?

There are 6 other open bugs on util-vserver that I think are caused by the same problem:
