I had this exact problem. I think that files 'typeinfo' and 'exception'
in the /usr/include/g++ are put there by mistake by something else.
egcs1.1.1 will put the files under
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/egcs-some-longer-version/include. I found that the best
way is to rename the two files to typeinfo.old and exception.old, egcs
will then use the correct ones.
