It seems that GCC shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is way too old, but a 
better question would be *why* are you trying to build PyPy from source?

Here are the portable PyPy binaries, if you are able to, just use that:

Otherwise, you'd need to get a newer GCC, the easiest option being this 
PPA if you aren't very comfortable with bootstrapping compilers:
