This is a known problem with math.h from DJGPP v2.01: one of the 
functions there uses struct exception, and `exception' is a reserved word 
in the latest versions of C++.  v2.02 corrects that.

If you can't avoid using <math.h>, I suggest the following workaround 
(warning: untested code follows):

  #define exception __exception
  #include <math.h>
  #undef exception
  #include <typeinfo>

  int main ()
  {}
