Can you please send a reply of grepping for "exception" in
/usr/include/math.h? It seems like somewhere in that file there is a
structure or variable called exception, which would create a problem
for any c++ program using that header (c++ also defines a type called
exception). Also, you might want to upgrade to gcc 3.0. gcc 2.95.3
has been known to have problems compiling gnuworld on other OS's.
